Lilly Opens TuneLab to Biotechs, Trading AI Access for Data

The effort advances Lilly’s Catalyze360 strategy by opening AI tools built on decades of research investment.

Overview

  • Lilly launched TuneLab with 18 models, including 12 for small‑molecule property prediction and six for antibody developability.
  • The platform’s models are trained on proprietary research data accumulated over decades at a cost reported to exceed $1 billion.
  • Selected biotech partners receive access in exchange for contributing experimental data that will be used to further train and improve the models.
  • Circle Pharma will use TuneLab to strengthen its MXMO macrocycle platform and advance oncology programs, including the phase 1 candidate CID‑078.
  • insitro will build new models for TuneLab to support small‑molecule discovery, with additional model releases planned, including analysis of in vivo data.
