There’s certainly value in using LLM to search unknown spaces for research of knowledge captured in human text forms, but having done a lot of modeling and simulation in applied sciences over my career, I often wonder for some of these cases how much is just having people interested in various computational sciences, modeling and simulation, and a massive pool of compute to deploy things and approaches to rapidly wire things together on the cheap, sort of like this case.
It was pretty grand not having to string together the bio-informatics and protein design pipeline and let Claude handle that and the environment. A lot of these tools in the past are fragmented and sometimes frozen to certain versions of a language which meant debugging. I didn't have to do at all; if there was env issues or GPU incompatibility Claude ran tests before execution and figured it all out for me. Truly the most boring stuff of this it fixed which would probably have made me give up if I was on my own.
