Cancer research, AI-run labs and hopes for biology at “compute speed”
A February 8, 2026 post celebrates reported cancer results in mice and cells, alongside claims that Ginkgo and GPT-5 ran 36,000 autonomous experiments.
TLDR
A user argues that biology is moving at “compute speed,” citing claims of glioblastoma tumor elimination in mice, pancreatic tumor regression in mice, and KAIST work described as reverting colon cancer cells to normal cells.
The post also claims Ginkgo and GPT-5 ran 36,000 experiments without human involvement: AI designed experiments, robots executed them, and AI analyzed results and iterated. It claims protein synthesis costs fell 40% and discovery timelines were compressed 10–100-fold.
