chaitjo · x · 2026-10-20
The team announces Atomwell, a foundation model for predicting experimental outcomes, alongside the first scaling laws for molecular discovery.
- Trained models from 800M to 9B parameters on 80M experimental measurements
- Clean scaling laws observed in both model size and data volume
- Positioned as state-of-the-art for experimental outcome prediction, a substantive AI for Science advance
