Standigm and Protai Start AI Molecular Glue Research Program

Sep 16, 2026
Standigm and Protai have started a two year research program to build a platform for discovering selective molecular glue degraders.

In a press release, Standigm and Protai announced a two year research and development program focused on selective molecular glue degraders. The companies will build an integrated discovery platform that combines structural proteomics with generative AI.

Protai will use its structural proteomics platform to model glue induced ternary protein complexes. Standigm will use its STELLA-MGD platform to design and optimize selective small molecule degrader candidates.

The program will follow an iterative design, make, test, and analyze process with experimental validation. Funding comes from the Korea Israel Industrial R&D Foundation, the Republic of Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, and the Israel Innovation Authority.

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.
