Hard Fork · Where Is All the A.I.-Driven Scientific Progress? · 26 Dec 2025 podcast

There are a lot of great people who are making progress there, but it's further out, I think, than people think.

Yeah, I think that, honestly, this year has been the year of agents.

This was the year when people discovered agents.

And so I do, in good faith, have to put myself, I have to put us on that list.

And also with Google co-scientists, I mean, we're not the only people who are working on this.

You know, Google has been doing a great job.

There are a bunch of other people.

So AI agents for science, definitely.

And then like generative design is just having a huge moment, right?

So the other ones would probably be the work that Chai has been doing, the work that NABLA has been doing, and many others on de novo antibody design.

It's come up a lot.

Yes.

Sorry, when I say de novo, I just mean like literally you just like, it generates it from scratch.

You don't give it anything, right?

You just like, or you give it a target that you want to bind to and it generates it from scratch.

This is huge because like basically the promise that companies like Chai, Nabla and so on are going after is a world in which you can say like, we know to cure this disease, we have to target that protein.

You click a button and you have an antibody that you can go and put in humans tomorrow, right?

It's huge.

It cuts out an enormous amount of what people had to do previously.

So that's a huge one.
