There's more possible combinations of chemistry than there are atoms in the
That's a super fun problem to work on because it's much different than other domains where you can kind of explore every possible route and just come up with this is the definitive best answer.
Yeah, I think that's the beauty of science, right?
Because one failed experiment could be a successful experiment tomorrow because the requirements change.
And so, yeah, there's value in all that data.
The key is if you're going to go into the real world, you're going to go into the benchtop and run that experiment.
You want that to be the most valuable experiment for today's problem.
Right.
Yeah, I think you want to try to not play that game as much as possible.
Right.
And I think that you're going to see and now I'm talking about stuff that I don't have a right to necessarily talk about.
But I think even with the foundational LLM providers, like there is the laws of physics that you have to run.
Like you cannot have a data center the size of the planet Earth.
Right.
And so at some point, you have to figure out, OK.
Like, how do we get more efficient about how we run some of these algorithms so that we can just OK, there's 17 trillion combinations.
How do you exclude 16.9 trillion of those right off the bat without having to simulate them?
So then you can focus on maybe just a billion.
That is where scientific domain knowledge comes in.
That's where the human comes into the problem.
