Connecting experiments to computation

Recursion’s platform uses biological experiments and cell images to build data for AI-guided drug discovery. Its pipeline includes investigational candidates at different development stages. A model’s ability to prioritize experiments and a medicine’s clinical performance are separate parts of that process. [1]

A concrete model contribution

The Boltz-2 release credits researchers at MIT alongside Recursion. The model jointly predicts molecular structures and binding affinity, extending the kinds of questions a co-folding model can address. The release describes computational benchmarks, rather than a completed clinical validation. [2]

A public artifact that others can study

Boltz-2’s repository provides code and weights under the MIT license. This permits independent deployment and adaptation, distinct from buying access to Recursion’s broader discovery platform or datasets. Its research-team attribution should also be kept separate from assumptions about a later company bearing the Boltz name. [3][2]
