AlphaFold3 Goes (Partially) Open Source: A Game-Changer for Drug Discovery

The Nobel-prize-winning AlphaFold3, developed by DeepMind, is now openly available for non-commercial use, empowering researchers worldwide to model protein structures and interactions with DNA, RNA, and other molecules. This leap forward democratizes access to critical tools for drug discovery, enabling advancements by small labs and large organizations alike.

Why it matters:

  • Advanced Capabilities: AlphaFold3 models proteins in concert with DNA, RNA, and ligands, crucial for drug discovery.

  • Accessible Innovation: Open-source tools often drive breakthroughs. Researchers have already used AlphaFold2 to design proteins targeting cancer and understanding sperm-egg cell binding.

  • What’s Next: Competing open-source models like OpenFold3 aim to provide even fewer restrictions, paving the way for proprietary data retraining.

MIT’s Fine-Tuning Breakthrough: A Leap Toward AGI?

A new MIT study may reignite the path toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Researchers fine-tuned questions for Large Language Models (LLMs) before asking them, significantly boosting their performance.

What to know:

  • Enhanced Understanding: Pre-fine-tuned questions allow models to simulate better preparation, leading to more accurate responses.

  • Expert Backing: OpenAI’s Noam Brown has lauded this innovative approach for its potential to jumpstart stalled progress in AI development.

The race for AGI just got a new contender.
