Hansa Biopharma Partners With Cradle on AI Protein Design

Oct 1, 2026
Hansa Biopharma will use Cradle's AI platform to design and optimize therapeutic candidates for severe autoimmune diseases.

Hansa Biopharma is partnering with Cradle to use AI for protein design and engineering across its drug discovery pipeline, the companies announced in a press release. The work will focus on therapeutic candidates for severe autoimmune diseases.

Hansa will use Cradle's platform for tasks including candidate identification, design and optimization. The system can optimize proteins across multiple parameters and learn from Hansa's experimental data to inform subsequent laboratory work.

The partnership expands Hansa's use of AI in research for immunomodulatory therapies. Cradle says its platform is used in more than 80 active research and development programs across pharmaceuticals, industrial biology, agriculture and consumer goods.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
