Google launches Antigravity AI research platform
What happened
Google DeepMind has released Google Antigravity, an agent development platform for accelerating scientific discovery. A first-hand report on 16 October 2026 says the platform compresses searches that were scattered across multiple databases into a single session, and combined with ProtNLM, a model that predicts biological function from amino acid sequences, scanned millions of uncharacterised proteins in UniProt to find a new antimicrobial peptide candidate with predicted activity against a pathogen linked to respiratory infections. It is now undergoing wet-lab validation.
