In the field of biology exploration, PandaOmics the cloud-based omics and text data analysis engine was updated all the way from dataset to ranking score and output processing, introducing four novel LLM scores focusing on confidence, commercial tractability, druggability and mechanism clarity for more comprehensive prioritization decisions.
Based on PandaOmics' experience in target discovery and indication exploration, Insilico Medicine recently submitted a systematic model performance evaluation framework research paper to a preprint server, proposing TID-Pro—a platform that combines machine learning target identification with comprehensive benchmark evaluation—and TargetBench 1.0, a target identification benchmark evaluation system. This integrated approach provides an efficient pathway for evaluating target discovery models, helping to optimize and improve the quality and efficiency of target discovery—a critical step in drug discovery—through AI-based multi-omics and computational modeling methods.
Also, Generative Biologics for novel biomolecules including antibodies and peptides, has further streamlined the model training, filtering and validation processes, so that more detailed structure understanding with more predictive models could lead to better balanced AI-designed molecules. Moreover, the Insilico team shared an internal test case using the platform for rapid design of GLP1R-targeting peptide molecules: within 72 hours, Generative Biologics generated over 5,000 novel peptide molecules. The team screened 20 high-potential candidates based on predicted affinity scores and computational binding energy, with 14 molecules showing biological activity, including 3 that demonstrated highly effective single-digit nanomolar activity.
As for chemistry, Insilico’s proprietary Chemistry42 is now composed of 7 distinctive applications spanning molecular generation, free energy binding prediction, ADMET property prediction, kinase selectivity prediction, and retrosynthesis route screening, and able to produce more than 2,400 molecule candidates within dozens of hours, joining the flexibility of generative AI and the precision of physics-based methods. Moreover, MDFlow for molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was introduced as a brand-new application, and Nach01, the multimodal natural & chemical languages foundation model is currently available on AWS marketplace .
Beyond specialized drug development models, Insilico Medicine continues to expand its Pharma.AI scientific assistant models. Among these, Science42: DORA achieves automated document generation through the integration of multiple AI agents and recently underwent an AI core model upgrade, bringing enhanced reasoning capabilities and real-time content verification features, enabling connectivity and interoperability with more AI tools. Insilico Medicine's proprietary life model PreciousGPT series was recently featured in two peer-reviewed papers in the journal Aging, exploring aging-related biological mechanisms.

Why do we recommend researchers to use PreciousGPT?
When you have a hypothesis that costs too much to test in real life, e.g. in situations when you need to run a mass screening of chemical compounds. Before you allocate the funds and resources to such an endeavor, you can try asking one of the Precious models how a tissue or a cell would respond to your experiment. Its answer is by no means the final truth, but it gives you something to guide you to plan for the real-life execution of your experiment.
How is AI implemented in PreciousGPT?
PreciousGPT are a lineup of models. In each iteration we use different architectures to make sure we benefit from the most advance solutions in the overall deep learning field. Most Precious models are transformer-based, a type of architecture all current LLMs are based on. But unlike a chat bot, our models do not speak in a human language. They talk in genes and molecules, which means that we also need to invent new ways to represent these elements of life in a digital format.
What are the distinctive advantages of PreciousGPT?
Our models are developed with practical utility in mind using actual research data. Compared to regular LLMs, they are not biased toward only published research and can identify molecular mechanisms missed by human researchers. All Precious models are designed to model specific steps in the drug discovery pipelines, unlike other bio-AI models, which may show exciting functionality which is nonetheless not directly applicable.
What’s the future of PreciousGPT?
We aim to continue developing the Precious lineup of models by integrating even more biodata types, or even combining them with AIs from other domains, such as chemistry. We hope that eventually these models will evolve to the point when they could be used as a Life Model, or a realistic digital replica of any living system from a cellular to an organismal level.
