Ian Quigley says less capable models persist with small changes to unpromising molecules, whereas smarter models abandon that search process and move elsewhere.

“Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. And what happens with the, the dumber models is that they'll just keep running little subtle changes on molecules that aren't ever gonna go anywhere, right?”

“Like, uh, these two, they have a low score, but I feel good about them, and so I'm gonna keep trying stuff. And then, uh, and then the smarter models will abandon the entire process.”

“We're gonna go somewhere else.”
