Researchers have developed a new system called PABLO, which uses large language models (LLMs) to drive black-box optimization for biological design tasks. This agent-driven approach leverages scientific literature to generate and refine biological candidates, achieving state-of-the-art performance in molecular design and antimicrobial peptide development. PABLO demonstrated improved sample efficiency and final objective values compared to existing methods, with optimized peptides showing significant activity against drug-resistant pathogens. AI
