Nick Talken, co-founder and CEO of Albert Invent, recently appeared on a podcast where he discussed the company's work in chemistry-focused AI. He stated that the company is announcing a new Frontier Retrieval model, claiming it is 45 times better than models from OpenAI and Voyage at retrieval tasks. He attributed this improvement to the fact that models trained on the entire internet are better at distinguishing between fields like life sciences and chemistry. Talken also addressed the limitations of public chemical data, noting that publicly available information consists primarily of successful experiments, while failures are often discarded or kept in private notebooks. He said that some customers using the Albert Invent platform possess more tokens of chemistry information within their single enterprise than the entire public corpus of chemical data.
