    Can Bittensor AI Discover New Drugs? MetaNova CEO Micaela Bazo on NOVA

    Can decentralized AI help discover the next generation of medicines? MetaNova Labs CEO Micaela Bazo joins Alex Richardson at Exploit Summit to explain how the company is using Bittensor subnet 68, NOVA, to accelerate AI-powered drug discovery. Bazo explains how NOVA operates as a 24/7 decentralized competition, where miners search massive molecular spaces, build chemical search algorithms, and compete to identify promising therapeutic candidates. She also shares early lab results from winning submissions, including compounds that matched the properties MetaNova was targeting at this stage of development. The conversation explores how decentralized competition can bring unexpected ideas into biotech, why successful miners do not always need traditional pharmaceutical expertise, and how AI-generated predictions move from computational models into real-world laboratory testing. They also discuss MetaNova's broader vision for "agency therapeutics" and what Bittensor could unlock for scientific research.

    Can decentralized AI really compete with OpenAI and Anthropic?
