In this week's #RadicalReads, @Latent_Labs Founder and CEO @saakohl introduces Latent-Y, the first lab-validated autonomous drug design agent, now in the hands of researchers worldwide. Learn how it turns a plain-language goal into lab-ready candidates and runs design campaigns 56x faster than expert estimates: radical.vc/putting-frontier-…

Very impressive results from Latent Labs!
Today we launch Latent-Y, our drug design agent. 250 designs free every day for any approved researcher.
We are also releasing the first lab results from researchers with early access: Ion channel inhibitors that work. CAR-T cells that kill tumour cells, now in vivo. Binders the malaria parasite cannot mutate away from.

We’re crossing a threshold in biology from discovery to design.
@saakohl and @Latent_Labs are showing what that actually looks like in practice.
Their new Latent-Y system doesn’t just assist scientists. It replaces entire workflows, turning a therapeutic idea written in natural language into lab-ready candidates.
We're excited to have Simon Kohl speaking at SynBioBeta 2026 this May 4-7th in San Jose, California, you can learn more about the conference and get your tickets here:

No manual iteration. No fragmented pipeline. Just end-to-end design.
With lab-validated results and orders-of-magnitude speedups, this is no longer theoretical.
This is exactly why being in the room matters.
You don’t get this level of clarity from a paper or a post. You get it from conversations, from questions, from seeing how people are thinking in real time.
Relationships are built in the room. Deals happen in the room. Breakthroughs happen in the room.

⚡️ From AI to antibodies — fast.
Congrats @LatentLabs on launching Latent-X2! Proud to be your wet-lab partner validating designs with TurboCHO™— turning AI-designed sequences into biology.

Our very own @SeBayesian and @SimMat20 will present at In Silico, London, on 1 October.
We'll be speaking about Latent-X, our Atom-level Frontier Model for De Novo Protein Binder Design.
Also featuring @amyxlu and @DominiqueLaLo, we're looking forward to it!

Showcasing Latent-X's breakthrough macrocycle designs.
Our AI achieved an unprecedented 91-100% hit rate with single-digit micromolar binding affinities—functional binders on every single target tested.

🧬 Latent-X is our first frontier model for protein design.
For mini-binders, our AI model achieved picomolar binding affinities — the strongest reported vs prior methods in head-to-head lab validation.

I love the trend of companies publishing technical reports / blogs instead of spending a year+ in peer review publishing detention - get your research OUT THERE!!!! v excited to read

Really cool new all-atom protein design model from Latent Labs - congrats @saakohl and team!
Was v fortunate to have early access to the model/platform and I especially like the ability to interactively select hotspot residues on the binding interface to guide design
V fast too
