Argonne National Laboratory researchers have developed MProt-DPO, an AI-driven computing framework for accelerating protein design. It combines various data sources and uses large language models and supercomputers to process billions of parameters, achieving over one exaflop of performance. The framework incorporates a Direct Preference Optimization algorithm to improve design reliability and is being tested on protein design challenges, with plans for laboratory validation.
Hyundai has unveiled a hydrogen-powered concept SUV called the Initium, set to debut at auto shows in November. Production is planned for next year. The vehicle has a 404-mile range on hydrogen and includes a backup electric system. Hyundai is investing £4 billion in hydrogen technology as part of its carbon neutrality goal.
