Big Multitask Models Are Helping Find New Medicines Faster
Computer models that learn many things at once are changing how we look for new drugs.
Researchers put together nearly 40 million measurements from many public sources, covering over 200 targets, so the models can spot patterns people might miss.
These models looks at lots of tests at the same time and tend to give better predictions than doing each test alone.
As more tasks and more data are added the results keeps improving, but it's not magic — they only partly help with tests they never saw before.
The study says sharing data matters, since more data helps models learn faster and make smarter guesses.
That means quicker routes to promising molecules, fewer blind turns in labs, and maybe new medicines reaching people sooner.
It's hopeful work, and with more data sharing and new ideas the process could speed up even more.
Small steps now could mean big health gains later.
