Anthropic points to infrastructure, not only model intelligence, as the bottleneck for scientific agents. In an NCBI Virus retrieval task, accuracy rose to nearly 100% after adding a deterministic gget virus layer.

IBM Research has published MAMMAL, a multi-modal model that unifies proteins, molecules, and gene data. It achieves state-of-the-art results on 9 of 11 biological benchmarks and outperforms AlphaFold 3 on several drug-discovery tasks.
