Alibaba Open-Sources Unified Scientific AI Model, Challenging Western Tech Giants in Biotech Race

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.’s ATH-Token Foundry, in collaboration with the Gaoling School of Artificial Intelligence at Renmin University of China, has open-sourced LOGOS, the first foundational AI model utilizing a unified scientific grammar to bridge multiple disparate scientific fields. The model, whose name stands for Language of Generative Objects in Science, treats biological macromolecules and chemical compounds as text sequences. By mapping out proteins, small molecules, and material structures under a single generative framework, the system eliminates the traditional requirement for separate, specialized AI models for different scientific tasks. In benchmark testing across six representative scientific disciplines, the model matched…
