Our retrosynthesis model RetroChimera (previously Chimera) is available via Azure Foundry. Its prediction quality has now surpassed the patent data itself (i.e. in blind tests chemists prefer model outputs over real published reactions). Exciting times ahead 🔥
RetroChimera, now available on Azure AI Foundry, marks a new milestone for predicting synthesis routes to drug-like molecules, opening new possibilities for AI in drug discovery. Learn more: msft.it/6011sutzJ

MatterGen now published in Nature 🔥 Very strong work from the materials team at MSR AI for Science!
Microsoft researchers introduce MatterGen, a model that can discover new materials tailored to specific needs—like efficient solar cells or CO2 recycling—advancing progress beyond trial-and-error experiments. www.microsoft.com/en-us/resear...

We just preprinted Chimera: our new retrosynthesis prediction model ⚗️

aka.ms/chimera

It has two modules: a large-scale Transformer and a graph-rewriting GNN. Chimera learns to combine predictions from both to leverage their unique strengths & biases.

I'm still new here, so I'll just port my badge posting tradition over from X.

If you're at #NeurIPS2024 and want to chat about AI for Science, come to the MSR booth during one of our slots:
- Tuesday 16:30 - 17:00
- Wednesday 16:30 - 17:30
