Enthought in the News | R&D World: Early tests show ‘AI supermodels’ can speed up materials discovery by 100x (or more) with minimal data

Enthought | Michael Connell, PhD

What Enthought has coined as “AI Supermodels” is transforming materials discovery, accelerating breakthroughs at speeds up to 100 times faster—even with minimal data. By leveraging AI and machine learning to predict material properties with unprecedented accuracy, researchers can drastically reduce the trial-and-error cycle that slows innovation. This new paradigm not only promises faster development of next-generation materials but also opens the door for industries to stay ahead in competitive markets.

Brian Buntz of R&D World shares his takeaways from Enthought Chief Operating Officer Michael Connell and our recent webinar in new article: Early tests show ‘AI supermodels’ can speed up materials discovery by 100x (or more) with minimal data
