Sanofi has selected the first potential treatment to come out of its AI-enabled research collaboration with Recursion.

The molecule is an oral small-molecule treatment being developed for inflammatory disease. It was identified using Recursion’s AI-enabled drug discovery platform together with Sanofi’s expertise in immunology and drug development. The program has now entered Sanofi’s development pipeline, with a Phase 1 study planned for 2027.

This is an interesting milestone because the work has progressed from computational discovery to a molecule that Sanofi believes is promising enough to take forward for further testing.

For pharma R&D teams, this gives a practical way to assess AI-assisted discovery: whether the molecules identified through these platforms can move into the same development process as other potential medicines.

5 Skills to Work Better with AI

Image
  AI is everywhere, and it’s here to stay. From virtual assistants to powerful decision-making tools, AI is shaping the way we work and interact with technology. But simply using AI isn’t enough—you need to understand how to make the most of it. Many people, even in everyday interactions with AI-powered tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, or DeepSeek, struggle to get the results they expect. This isn’t because AI is flawed, but because working effectively with it requires a certain set of skills. Knowing how to phrase your queries, provide the right context, and interpret AI’s responses can make all the difference. Whether you use AI for work, creativity, or problem-solving, keeping these five key skills in mind will help you unlock its true potential. 1. Know Where to Use AI AI isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. While it excels at processing vast amounts of data and analyzing lengthy documents, it’s not always necessary—or even useful—in every situation. It’s not a magic wand, and unders...

Part 1: Prompt engineering: The Art of Delegating to Generative AI

Image
Ever wondered why some people get spot-on, helpful responses from AI, while others end up with vague or confusing answers? It’s not just luck—it’s the power of good prompting. The way you ask the AI to do something matters—a lot. This is part one of a three-part series where we’ll explore what prompt engineering is and the different techniques you can use to guide AI effectively. Part two will cover the constituents of a prompt. In part thre, we’ll dive into how to create great prompts—with practical tips and examples to help you get the most out of AI. What is prompt engineering? So, what exactly is prompt engineering? It’s the art of telling an AI model what you want it to do. But why is it called an art—and yes, also a science? Because the way you frame your request can completely change the quality, accuracy, and usefulness of the response. To understand why prompting is such a big deal, you first need to know how these AI models actually work. The popular chat companions we’ve all...

  GPU - The brain of Artificial Intelligence Machine Learning algorithms require tens and thousands of CPU based servers to train a model, which turns out to be an expensive activity. Machine Learning researchers and engineers are often faced with the problem of running their algorithms fast. Although initially invented for processing graphics in computer games, GPUs today are used in machine learning to perform feature detection from vast amount of unlabeled data. Compared to CPUs, GPUs take far less time to train models that perform classification and prediction. Characteristics of GPUs that make them ideal for machine learning Handle large datasets Needs far less data centre infrastructure Can be specialized for specific machine learning needs Perform vector computations faster than any known processor Designed to perform data parallel computation NVIDIA CUDA GPUs today are used to build deep learning image processing tools for  Adobe Creative Cloud. According to  NVID...
