Geodesic Intelligence launches NovaAtom-Lite, an all-atom structure prediction model for drug discovery. On FoldBench antibody–antigen prediction (DockQ ≥ 0.23): NovaAtom-Lite hits 79.07% (n=172), beating IsoDDE at 75.58% and AlphaFold 3 at 47.90%, evaluated with 5 seeds × 5 samples and the model's own ranking score.

Founder Quanquan Gu: UCLA tenured professor and AGI lab head, ex-ByteDance Seed where he built SeedFold, left in June to start Geodesic — NovaAtom shipped four months later.
