Drug discovery is notoriously inefficient. Pharmaceutical projects span years, moving from one specialized human team to the next through disconnected workflows that result in knowledge loss during each handoff. A shocking 90% to 95% of drug discovery projects reportedly fail — one of the highest failure rates of any industry. A single successful drug can take over a dozen years and up to $1 billion from initial discovery to patient distribution, according to published reports. Generative AI is ...
SummaryRFIC design is a complex “dark art” that limits progress in wireless technologies like 5G, autonomous vehicles, and satellite communications.Princeton researchers use reinforcement learning and inverse design to rapidly create RFICs from scratch.Diffusion models rapidly generate novel or human-interpretable RF layouts, achieving record performance and drastically reducing design time.Future progress needs large, shared chip design datasets and open ecosystems so AI can learn universal ele...
Data: Financial Modeling Prep; Chart: Emily Peck/AxiosInvestors seem to be hitting pause on the AI run-up. Chip stocks in particular are slumping from their record highs.Why it matters: We're in a bit of a reality-check moment in the AI buildout — both for the businesses blowing their budgets on compute and for the investors bidding up stock prices for any company engaged in the new technology.The big picture: AI is moving faster than ever before, and the cost of some compute, or the price to re...
AI agents are increasingly proficient at executing business tasks autonomously, but IT leaders are cautious about granting permissions to access enterprise systems. Part of the challenge lies in how AI reliability is measured. Industry standards often rely on EVAL scores, which provide a static snapshot of performance rather than a measure of overall reliability. These metrics can fail to capture predictability across prompts, environments, and input types, said Bryan Silverthorn, director of th...
Mistral AI on Tuesday released OCR 4, a document intelligence model that moves beyond raw text extraction to return structured representations of entire documents — complete with bounding boxes, block-type classification, and per-word confidence scores. The release marks Mistral's fourth generation of optical character recognition technology in roughly 15 months and lands at a moment when the company's pitch for European AI sovereignty has never been more commercially relevant.The mode...
