Nature Study: AI Antibody Generation Struggles with Generalization
anshulkundaje · x · 2026-08-21
The AIntibody challenge published in Nature Biotechnology reveals that most AI-native methods struggle to generalize for generating truly developable compounds. The study highlights that binding affinity is not equivalent to efficacy and development, and current intermediate metrics may not benefit patients.
