AI agents, not foundation models, are the template for accelerating science beyond structural biology
AlphaFold's success relied on 53 years of standardized protein data—a rare condition most scientific fields cannot replicate. Reasoning-based AI agents offer a better path forward.
Applied Computing raises $20M Series A to unify fragmented oil and gas plant data with physics-aware foundation model
London startup's Orbital model combines time-series, physics, and language AI to compress multi-week facility investigations into minutes, attracting KBR and energy majors as early customers.
