Deterministic designs, cited evidence, honest scope — recent work from the Evolrix AI team.
Method
Kairos runs the design–build–test–learn cycle as a dry-lab loop today. Each stage declares what it is — retrieved evidence, model reasoning, or a deterministic tool. Nothing in between.
Product
Every number below comes from the published cytochrome-c worked example — nothing staged.
Evidence
Retrospective dry-lab metrics for Kairos v0.4.0, reproducible from the deterministic tools — including the uncomfortable ones.
ρ ≈ +0.35
Within-protein host-fidelity ranking (Spearman, LOGO cross-validation)
ρ ≈ 0.12–0.26
Cross-source generalization, method-dependent — reported, not rounded up
627 / 21
Expression-construct records / cross-source folds behind the ranking model
0
Expression or titer predictions made. Real expression awaits wet-lab data
Honest scope
Dry-lab design quality — ranked and cited.
On the record, so you can hold us to it.
Questions
An AI company building the tools that make synthetic biology computable — dramatically accelerating the path from research question to manufacturing-ready design. Designs that are provably correct, scores you can re-run, and answers grounded in literature. Built for teams that need provenance, not persuasion.
Industrial R&D teams in synthetic biology, metabolic engineering, and biotech — from early-stage design to pre-manufacturing validation.
No. Kairos ranks dry-lab design quality — synthesis safety, host resemblance, and expression-construct optimization (learned element effects matching known biology (pCS1, ERO1/SBH1); cross-source generalization ρ≈0.12–0.26 (method-dependent)), 5′ translation initiation, and protein developability. It is not an expression or titer prediction. Real expression awaits wet-lab data.
Kairos v0.4 (Pichia-scoped): conversational research with cited evidence retrieval, LLM-backed reasoning (Qwen3), ranked CDS design panels with host-fidelity scores and expression-construct optimization (element effects matching known biology (pCS1, ERO1/SBH1); ~627 records, 21 folds), 3D protein structure prediction via AlphaFold DB, and secretion leader design. Expanding to more hosts.
Ask a research question in natural language. Kairos retrieves cited evidence, reasons with an LLM, runs deterministic design tools, and returns a structured dossier — streamed live. Each section carries its provenance: evidence (retrieved, cited), reasoning (model or templated), design (deterministic tools).
Minutes, not weeks. Every construct scored, every claim cited, every limit stated.
