  • 通过三层次架构,将研究意图转化为可执行计划
  • 45项任务中综合得分84.59,领先第二名18.07分
  • 适合需要多轮优化与证据整合的药物研发人员

早期分子设计是迭代过程,不仅涉及分子生成,还包括将宏观目标转化为设计策略、优化候选物、评估多种性质并收集合成前证据。现有AI方法可生成分子、多目标优化、预测性质、化合物对接及考虑合成可行性,但功能分散于专用工具中。专家仍需手动协调各步骤、判断中间结果并整合证据。核心挑战在于将研究意图转化为基于科学工具的自适应、可追溯工作流。本文提出CAi Copilot,一种面向专家的智能代理,包含三层结构:研究接口层将意图转为可执行计划;代理推理层利用中间结果指导每轮运行;执行底座提供分子工具、度量标准、可复用组件和后端服务。在45项任务中,CAi整体表现最优,得分84.59,超过次优结果18.07分。额外基准测试验证其在生成、筛选与多准则评估间的协同能力,并揭示长周期执行中的局限性。结果表明,CAi能将宽泛的分子设计意图转化为透明、可追溯的工作流,连接中间决策与候选物层面的证据。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Early-stage molecular design is an iterative process, not just a task of generating molecules. Researchers turn broad goals into design strategies, refine candidates, assess many properties, and gather evidence before synthesis and tests. AI methods can generate molecules, optimize several goals, predict properties, dock compounds, and account for synthesis. Yet these functions are spread across specialized tools. Experts must still coordinate each step, judge interim results, and integrate evidence. The central challenge is thus to turn research intent into adaptive, traceable runs grounded in scientific tools. We cast this challenge as intent-to-evidence molecular design workflow execution and present CAi Copilot, an expert-oriented agent with three linked layers. The Research Interface Layer turns intent into an executable plan. The Agent Reasoning Layer uses interim results to guide each run. The Execution Substrate supplies molecular tools, metrics, reusable utilities, and backend services. Across 45 tasks, CAi achieves the strongest overall performance, with an outcome score of 84.59, exceeding the next-best result by 18.07 points. Additional benchmarks test how CAi coordinates generation, screening, and multi-criteria evaluation, while exposing limits in long-horizon execution. These results show that CAi turns broad molecular-design intent into transparent, traceable workflows that connect interim decisions to candidate-level evidence.
