Biotech
Chai Discovery is a venture-backed AI biotech company that builds generative models for de novo antibody design. This generative antibody design process compresses the antibody discovery cycle from 12 to 24 months to four to eight weeks. Its flagship Chai-2 model achieved 20% experimental hit rates across 52 de-novo designed targets, a 200x improvement over prior computational methods. Founded in March 2024 by a team with roots in OpenAI and Absci, the company has gained traction both with its open-source Chai-1 structure prediction model and its pharmaceutical partnership with Eli Lilly.
