Building a Scaffold-Split Random Forest QSAR Co-Scientist for EGFR Inhibitor Discovery Using ChEMBL, RDKit, SHAP, and BRICS

In this tutorial, we build an autonomous AI co-scientist for EGFR C797S inhibitor discovery. We resolve the target through ChEMBL and UniProt, then mine IC50 records into a clean pIC50 dataset. We use RDKit to standardize molecules, compute Morgan fingerprints, and train a scaffold-split Random Forest QSAR model. We interpret potency drivers with SHAP, then recombine BRICS fragments to generate and rank novel candidates.

OpenAI Releases GPT-Realtime-2.1 and GPT-Realtime-2.1-mini for Low-Latency Voice Agents in the API

OpenAI added two Realtime models to its API. GPT-Realtime-2.1-mini is a mini reasoning model for voice, priced like the earlier gpt-realtime-mini. OpenAI also cut p95 latency by at least 25% through improved caching. Here is what changed, how pricing compares, and how to connect over WebRTC.

Tencent Releases Hy3: An Open 295B Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) Model with 21B Active Parameters and 256K Context

Tencent’s Hy team released Hy3, a 295B Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model that activates only 21B parameters per token. It ships under Apache 2.0 with a 256K context window, targeting reasoning, agentic, and long-context tasks. Hy3 reports 78.0 on SWE-Bench Verified and lower hallucination rates, and is free to try on OpenRouter through July 21, 2026.

I spy

I’ve long argued that Hollywood has simultaneously set and ruined our expectations for smart glasses. But after binge-watching two seasons of Netflix’s A Man on the Inside, this is perhaps the first time I’ve seen Hollywood, perhaps inadvertently, illustrate the biggest cultural problem with smart glasses as they stand today. In a nutshell, Ted Danson […]

The ‘first’ AI-run ransomware attack still needed a human

An AI agent carried out the technical execution of a real-world ransomware attack for the first known time, but new details show a human still chose the victim, set up the infrastructure, and supplied stolen credentials — meaning it wasn’t quite the fully autonomous cybercrime debut that last week’s headlines suggested.

An AI companion sounds dystopian, but it has become a common thread in the wider conversation about the perils of generative AI. What it refers to is essentially a conversational agent built to sustain an ongoing, personal relationship with a user, with the memory and steady persona that keep it consistent from one session to […]
