iGC models germinal-center affinity maturation as two stages: learn somatic hypermutation first, then RL-select for binding without throwing away that grammar. - Stage 1 mutation-site pos@1: 11.929% vs best baseline DASM 5.307% — more than doubles; joint accuracy 4.864% vs 2.153% (Tang test; paper) - After RL: 57.0% of predicted mutation positions sit in WRC hotspots vs 2.0% random background; mutability still correlates with S5F (Pearson 0.474) - Under 2–4 mutation budgets, exactly rediscovers 110 of 799 affinity-maturation sequences from the evaluation set - Reward–Tax Meta-Gradient (RewardNet + TaxNet) is there to stop the usual RL cheats — repeating one high-reward sub, or parking mutations in tolerant framework sites Not a wet-lab campaign. It’s a mutation policy that stays SHM-shaped while chasing affinity.

PharmAgents2 runs end-to-end drug discovery as parallel agents with a decision knowledge base — then hands molecules to humans for wet-lab checks. - PharmAgents-Bench v0.1: 121 questions / 9 decision scenarios + 3 end-to-end tasks; highest process scores vs Claude Code, Codex, and LLM-only (same DeepSeek V4.1 Flash base; paper) - LpxH: hypothesized an unreported allosteric site; 63 purchased candidates → AIPher-L1 IC50 8.38 μM; SPR 1.40 μM; MST 0.87 μM (human-run assays in the paper) - JAK1: prioritized covalent Cys817 strategy; 34 purchased → AIPher-J1 matched positive-control pathway inhibition at 10 μM; 3 more >50% in both pathways - Self-Scaling Discovery also nominated a new binding target for a known bioactive; interaction later confirmed experimentally (paper) The agent wrote the plan and shortlist. Humans bought and assayed. Binding-site ID for LpxH is still ongoing.

The UK launched the AI Biosecurity Lab — first dedicated AI×biosecurity org in the government's framing — with £100M public money and up to £200M in company commitments. - OpenAI: £100M compute/model credits + trusted access via Rosalind Biodefense - Anthropic: up to £100M credits, trusted model access, dedicated technical support - Also named: Google DeepMind research collab; Basecamp Research AI-biology models - Initial focus: earlier detection of biological threats + faster vaccines / treatments / MCMs - Structure: independent non-profit; partners UKHSA, APHA, Dstl, MHRA Policy-level bet: put frontier model access next to national biosecurity centres, not just another safety white paper.

Toronto's El Agente Fármaco turns a plain-language discovery goal into a multi-tool screen — and keeps every molecule, pose and metric in Fármaco Atlas with provenance. - 22-task bench vs plain tool calls and Codex: highest mean model-judged score; lower median cumulative tokens and peak context (authors) - TBXT retrospective: agent shortlist mean QED 0.69 vs expert-purchased 0.52; Lipinski violations 0.06 vs 0.54; max Tanimoto to purchased set 0.30 (common docking protocol) - Progressive disclosure: subset_id for whole libraries so the LLM never sees 200 SMILES at once - Tools span MolMIM / PocketXMol / DiffDock / Boltz-2 / ADMET-AI / RBFE — still computational; wet-lab pending on several campaigns The interesting bit isn't another chat wrapper. It's a drug-design-native database the agent can query without stuffing the context window.

ProteoCraft treats binder design as proposal–verification search: truncated diffusion gradients propose mutations; full ESMFold2 decides what's worth keeping. - 14 de novo settings / 8 targets; MCTS Pair iPTM 0.721 vs Best-of-N 0.660 (paper) - Strict yield (Pair iPTM ≥0.75 + binder pLDDT ≥0.9): 114/210 = 54.3% vs Best-of-N 40/210 = 19.0% - AF2-IG strict pass: 86.2% vs 78.6% (same sequences, outside the search verifier) - Wet lab PD-L1 miniproteins: 29/35 hits = 82.9%; best SPR KD 0.879 nM; IFNAR2 VHH 4/9 expressed hits, KD ~153 nM (no affinity maturation) Gradients steer where to look. Full folds decide what ships.

Axiom formalized all four Weil conjectures in Lean, including the Riemann hypothesis over finite fields. - Rationality, functional equation, Betti-number comparison, and |α| = q^(i/2) for Frobenius eigenvalues - Repo reports sorry-free, no axioms beyond Lean's standard ones (Axiom) - The key weight estimate comes from their Stacks Project formalization, via Laumon's route rather than Deligne's 1974 proof line by line - Next target named: Ramanujan's tau bound |τ(p)| ≤ 2p^(11/2) Deligne's theorem is now a library call other formal proofs can use.

The Aaronson–Ambainis conjecture, open since 2008, now has a Lean-checked proof found by an AI research system. - PSI's internal system, running a non-public Anthropic model, had a full proof on day 3 of the run (PSI) - Lean accepted it; the system then improved the result twice - Bound: some bit has influence at least c·v^(5/2)/d^6, c about 0.0025 - Meaning: no exponential quantum speedup on yes/no questions about random inputs without structure Stanford theorists who proved a special case in August are now writing the expert exposition.

Two DeepMind AI agents designed, ran and debugged a 1024-bit RSA root computation in under four days. - First root: 391 CPU core-years, 3.5x less than the original 1024-bit run (same algorithm, polynomials and bounds) - New affine-oracle cost: L[1/3, 1.8171] down to L[1/3, 1.5803] per root - Setting: a temporary signing oracle for older formats like PKCS#1 v1.5, not plain factoring - Authors: no threat to deployed 2048-bit+ RSA The attack didn't get scary. The research loop got fast.

OpenAI and Ligo built a benchmark from messy, real bench data, not curated paper figures: BioBasicsBench. - 100 routine wet-lab tasks: raw gels, blots, colony plates, microscopy, flow/plate-reader exports, sequencing reads, bench videos - GPT-6 Astra 66.7% vs GPT-5.6 Sol 43.8% at xhigh (OpenAI-reported mean reward) - 7 models, 37 settings, 18,500 graded attempts - Astra still misreads controls and overcounts one colony plate by ~12% Reading a gel is easy. Knowing when the data can't support a conclusion is the hard part.

DeepMind put Cheminformatics Skills into Google Antigravity — RDKit plus ChEMBL/PubChem under an agent workbench. - Demo on lung-cancer TKIs: literature triage → compound sets → matched molecular pairs → potency models → rigidified macrocycle proposals with routes - Authors say that loop used to take multiple days; the walkthrough finishes in about an hour - Offering 10,000 scientists the top Antigravity usage tier free for 6 months (eligibility/capacity; rolling onboard) Designs are hypotheses — still need synthesis and assay. Soft speed claim, but the tooling stack is concrete.

USTC's structRFM hit Nature — a structure-guided RNA foundation model, with weights and 21M pretraining pairs open. - Pretrained on 21 million RNA sequence–secondary-structure pairs - Pair-matching MLM + multi-source structure ensemble (MUSES) - Tertiary adapter Zfold: competitive with AlphaFold3 on CASP15-natural, CASP16, RNA-Puzzles (authors) - Also lifts function tasks; dataset/weights/code public RNA FMs that bake in base-pairing, not just sequence. Exact CASP score tables live in the paper/SI.

CellCanon is an agentic cellular world model — predict single-cell responses, explain with citations, then update from new measurements without retraining weights. - 339 held-out SciPlex3 conditions - DE AUPRC / Macro-F1: +63.3% / +17.3% over the best baseline for each metric; direction Macro-F1 +7.2% - Token use vs gene-wise LM baseline: −99.77% Predict, −98.41% Explain - With one measured source cell per drug, Update beats fine-tuned baselines on DE AUPRC/F1 without changing weights Prediction + source-grounded explain + observation update in one loop. SciPlex3 only so far.

Firecrawl opened its life-sciences Research Index inside ChatGPT and Claude — free. - 41M+ papers across drug discovery, clinical trials, and biology (Firecrawl) - The agent searches the index and pulls papers/passages instead of copy-paste abstracts - Same index also reachable via API / MCP / CLI Useful if your agent keeps bouncing between PubMed and chat. Corpus size is Firecrawl's own claim.

Edison published a Kosmos Target Assessment case study with Incyte — packaging target reviews for committee, not replacing the biologist. - Average package across categories: under one workday (Edison's numbers) - Retrospective vs human packages: broader coverage, biggest gains outside core biology - On 6 targets with known committee decisions: proposed derisking experiments matched perfectly or conceptually in 83% of cases; partial 16%; miss 1% (Edison) Retrospective only — doesn't show better go/no-go on new targets. Still a concrete ops number for AI in target selection.
