Chai Discovery

Meier co-founded Chai Discovery in 2024 with Jack Dent, Matthew McPartlon and Jacques Boitreaud; the company describes its team's backgrounds as spanning OpenAI, Meta FAIR, Stripe, molecular design and academic research. Chai Discovery says it is building a computer-aided design suite for molecules.12

Chai's open chai-lab repository hosts Chai-1, described in the 2024 technical report "Chai-1: Decoding the molecular interactions of life", and cites a 2025 Chai-2 report on zero-shot antibody design.3

Products and projects

In November 2025 Chai published results on antibodies designed by Chai-2 against challenging targets, including tests of developability. In July 2026 Meier announced a collaboration with Novartis on AI-driven antibody discovery that gives Novartis access to Chai's newer models, including Chai-3.41
