The biggest bottleneck in AI for biology is still the wet lab.

AI can generate more ideas than our labs can test. Closing that gap is how we turn better models into faster discovery.

Today, we’re introducing X-Automate at Xaira: bringing agentic AI and physical robotics into the lab. 🧵

GPT-7 will be built by GPT-6x for sure! 😅

We asked GPT-6 Astra to edit Qwen3.5-0.8B weights to improve math.
It directly changed only 0.016% of weights, fixing 0.8B's reasoning loops & improving math up to 6x and even instruction following 3x, without gradients or training.

We call this Weight-Space Programming: frontier LLMs can now natively read/write neural network weights! 🧵

We connected X-Scientist to our lab robots and watched the lab come alive. 🦾🧪

AI coordinating workflows. Robots moving samples. Experiments running into the night.

It’s incredibly rewarding to watch the future of biotech unfold right in front of us.

Meet X-Scientist: our step toward a self-improving virtual drug hunter!

Today, we’re introducing Xaira’s agentic AI platform for drug discovery:

🧠 Beats Codex using the same Astra model by 7.4 percentage points on DrugDiscoveryBench.

🧬 Nominates targets ~10× faster than human curation, with a comparable wet-lab hit rate.

🔁 Conducts autonomous research, outperforming AutoResearch and AutoScientists in the PerturbQA benchmark.

Here’s what we built, what we tested, and where we’re going. 🧵
