Insilico Medicine Convenes an Open Consortium For Benchmark Quality in AI-Driven Drug Discovery
Matched: Artificial Intelligence
Insilico Medicine launched the Open Drug Discovery and Development Consortium (O3DC), a free community-curated initiative aimed at improving transparency in AI-driven drug discovery benchmarks. Its Benchmark Index catalogs hundreds of benchmarks across 10 categories, documenting known biases and limitations often omitted from standard benchmark descriptions. Insilico applies the same scrutiny to its own tools, openly noting their flaws. Researchers can contribute, challenge entries, or add benchmarks at o3dc.org.
Top U.S. States for AI Data Centers And Infrastructure Growth
Matched: Artificial Intelligence
A TRG Datacenters study ranks Virginia, Ohio, Tennessee, Georgia, and Texas as the top five U.S. states for AI data center growth, weighing capacity, electricity use, and environmental pressures. Virginia topped the index despite lacking the most facilities, while Texas ranked fifth despite leading in large sites, partly because nearly 59% of its facilities sit in high water-stress areas. Ohio led in total power capacity at 1,410 megawatts. The findings highlight that resource availability increasingly determines where AI infrastructure can sustainably expand.
