In this task, various AI models were evaluated on their ability to predict how a genetic modification would impact the assembly of the virus's outer shell (among a set of therapeutically-relevant unpublished candidates developed by Dyno Therapeutics). We did not explicitly train our models to perform this task—and yet Mythos-class models outperformed sophisticated models dedicated to protein tasks (known as 'protein language models') using their biological reasoning alone.
大多数人认为AI模型需要专门训练才能完成特定领域的专业任务，但作者认为即使没有专门训练，Mythos-class模型也能在生物医学领域超越专业模型。这挑战了人们对AI专业化训练的普遍认知，暗示通用AI可能比专业模型在某些领域表现更好，因为它们能够进行更广泛的推理和模式识别。
