Cortex's owned target-and-molecule intelligence layer
Cortex decides the scientific intent. BioBrain turns that intent into biomolecular evidence and molecule candidates.
Without BioBrain, Cortex relies on external scoring functions it doesn't understand or control. With BioBrain, Cortex owns its understanding of targets, pockets, binding, safety, synthesis, and generation β and improves each one from every pipeline outcome.
The moat: BioBrain starts from public data (PDBbind, ChEMBL, USPTO, ToxCast) β same as everyone. But it continuously retrains from our failure attributions and pipeline outcomes. After 6 months, our binding model knows things no public model can.
| Model | Public Data | Architecture | Train Time | Inference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Binding affinity | PDBbind + BindingDB (5M points) | SchNet / GCN (3-layer) | 4 hrs (A100) | 5ms |
| ADMET multi-task | ToxCast + ChEMBL (500K) | Message-passing NN | 2 hrs | 3ms |
| Retrosynthesis | USPTO (1.8M reactions) | Template-based (Neuralsym) | 6 hrs | 20ms |
| Pocket classifier | sc-PDB (17K pockets) | 3D CNN voxelized | 1 hr | 8ms |
| Target relevance | OpenTargets + DepMap (50K pairs) | XGBoost | 10 min | <1ms |
| Molecular prior | ZINC + ChEMBL (10M SMILES) | Transformer (6-layer, 10M params) | 12 hrs | 15ms/mol |
Total training: ~1 day on single A100 ($30-50 spot). Then inference at zero marginal cost inside pipeline.
