A glowing molecular structure rising out of a stack of futuristic GPU server racks, teal (#2dd4bf) and fuchsia (#e879f9) light on a deep teal-black (#04140f) background, data streams flowing from servers into the molecule, clean high-tech laboratory aesthetic, cinematic depth, sense of computation becoming chemistry, no text, 16:9.

The Drug Engine

M.L. Pedrosa / June 28, 2026

A 1,016-GPU supercomputer and a $2.5B AI drug deal show how, in 2026, artificial intelligence became the infrastructure of drug discovery itself.

A dark blue-black background (#080a16) showing an abstract geometric constellation of glowing points connected by equal-length line segments. On the left, a neat square lattice of sky-blue points (#7dd3fc); on the right, an irregular, more densely connected cluster of violet points (#c4b5fd) with more connecting edges, one point haloed as if newly discovered. Faint diagonal grid texture, subtle bokeh, mathematical- elegant mood, high contrast, cinematic. No text, no numbers. 16:9.

Erdos

M.L. Pedrosa / June 15, 2026

A general-purpose AI reasoning model disproved Erdős’s unit distance conjecture — the first famous open math problem solved autonomously by a machine. What it means.

Beyond the Grid

M.L. Pedrosa / May 29, 2026

In 1946, Paul Erdős asked how many point pairs can sit exactly one unit apart. For 80 years, mathematicians had the wrong answer. Then an AI found the right one.
