The first model, AQCat, is designed to help researchers find promising catalyst and materials candidates for uses ranging from semiconductor manufacturing to battery development. A second model, AQPotency, will focus on drug discovery by helping identify molecules that may bind to disease targets. The partnership follows SandboxAQ's $500 million CHIPS program award and could strengthen Alphabet's position in scientific AI beyond Gemini and Google DeepMind's Isomorphic Labs. For investors, the development possibly points to growing demand for AI systems that can tackle complex research problems across pharma, chips and advanced materials.
