Today in brief

Anthropic’s AI-designed minibinders bound targets in lab tests, but only 354 of 1,320 tested designs worked.1 Separately, Latch Bio’s neuroscience benchmark found that the best-performing AI agent configuration passed 32.2% of its evaluations.2

Also worth knowing

  • Network Bio and Duke University will build AI disease models using molecular profiles from biobank samples combined with anonymized patient records and treatment outcomes.3
