Researchers: AI Can Learn to Build Quantum Circuits For Drug Molecules, Cutting Design Time by Orders of Magnitude

Insider Brief Researchers developed an AI framework that generates quantum circuits for molecular simulations thousands of times faster than ADAPT-VQE while matching or exceeding its accuracy on benchmark tests, and demonstrated the approach on Quantinuum’s Helios quantum computer using the pharmaceutical molecule imipramine. The framework combines transformer-based language models with reinforcement learning to generate molecular … Read more

At Waymo, an AI project isn’t ready until its evals are — not when the model performs well

At Waymo, an AI project isn’t ready until its evals are — not when the model performs well

Few companies face higher stakes when deploying AI than Waymo, the self-driving car company under Alphabet that spun out of Google. Its models do not merely generate text or automate back-office tasks: They help vehicles navigate unpredictable streets, respond to human drivers and make split-second decisions in the physical world.But the methods Waymo uses to … Read more

Enterprise AI agents can’t talk to each other, can’t be trusted with permissions, and can’t be audited — 5 startups are already fixing that

Enterprise AI agents can’t talk to each other, can’t be trusted with permissions, and can’t be audited — 5 startups are already fixing that

Enterprise AI agents can do the work — but the infrastructure to let them talk to each other, prove they should be trusted, and be audited when something goes wrong is still being built.Here’s a look at how five startups are tackling that gap — around orchestration, observability, connectivity, and security — as shown at … Read more
