Remarkably some claim AI has now discovered a new drug candidate on its own. Reading the prep-print (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.04.14.648850v2....), it appears the model was targeted to just a very specific task and without evaluating other models on the same task. I know nothing about gens, and I can see that is an important advance. However, seems a bit headline grabbing when claiming victory for one model without comparing against others using the same process.

If someone discovers anything, it does not change anything if someone else could have discovered it theoretically as well?

If a simple majority classifier has the same performance as a fancy model with 58 layers of transformers, and you use your fancy model instead of the majority classifier, is it the model that's doing the discovery or is it the operator that choose to look in a particular place?
