LiteMol-1 generates drug candidates on M1 Max in 30 seconds

A user ran the LiteMol-1 model on an M1 Max MacBook, generating high-affinity molecules for Eli Lilly's MALT1 target in just 30 seconds. Without extra tuning and only using pocket conditioning, the model recovered the original pyrazolyl methyl-formamidopyridine structure and produced variations with binding scores mostly between -8 and -10 kcal/mol, with one reaching -12 kcal/mol. This demonstrates the potential for local, cost-effective drug discovery workflows.
