The honest brief

Chai Discovery

One of the few drug-discovery shops to ship open model weights plus a free in-browser server, rather than locking everything behind pharma partnerships.

  • Free in-browser structure prediction
  • Open Chai-1 weights
  • SOTA protein-ligand accuracy
  • OpenAI-backed
  • Weights non-commercial only
  • Chai-2 not open
  • Young company (2024)
  • Core IP still proprietary

Isomorphic Labs

Direct lineage to Nobel-winning AlphaFold plus Alphabet backing — few AI-drug shops pair that model pedigree with deep-pocket pharma partnerships.

  • AlphaFold-derived design models
  • Alphabet-backed capital
  • Top-pharma partnerships
  • Nobel-laureate leadership
  • Pharma partnerships only
  • No public product or API
  • No approved drug yet
  • Opaque pricing
