New AI can help find cancer treatments faster

Technology Oct 18, 2025

Google DeepMind and Yale University just dropped a powerful new AI called C2S-Scale 27B. With a massive 27 billion parameters, this model can actually "read" the language of individual cells.
It's already helped scientists come up with—and test—a new idea about how cancer cells behave, opening doors for smarter treatments.

C2S-Scale 27B digs deep into how cancer cells interact

C2S-Scale 27B digs deep into how cancer cells interact with our immune system, suggesting ways to help the body spot and attack tumors better.
Using virtual simulations instead of old-school lab work, it screened over 4,000 drugs to find ones that boost immune response—including some brand-new options.
This tech could speed up finding fresh therapies and make future treatments way more effective.
