In fact this study’s been out as a preprint since April 2025, so the researchers got their work out in reasonable time.

i am begging academics to study AI capabilities using frontier models.

the models used in this study (which is going to be cited for years as proof that "AI is bad at health advice") are GPT-4o, Llama 3, and Command R+, two obsolete models and one i've never heard of.

Alphafold is running out of data. So leading pharma firms have announced plans to make their own AlphaFold-3-inspired AI model using thousands of protein structures secreted away in company vaults. But no plans to make the model available beyond firms in the consortium.
