dsm-firmenich and Boltz partner to put proprietary foundation models into ingredient discovery, training exclusive models on scent and taste receptor data
dsm-firmenich and Boltz PBC have announced a partnership that puts Boltz's latest proprietary foundation models to work in dsm-firmenich's ingredient-discovery process for next-generation scent and flavor molecules. The partners plan to combine those frontier models with dsm-firmenich's taste and odor receptor data to produce a set of exclusive models capturing decades of sensory-science know-how, used to predict and design molecular structure and to learn how molecules interact with receptor proteins. dsm-firmenich teams also gain full access to the Boltz platform, including the Boltz Lab interface, the Boltz API and a new integration with LLM agents that lets scientists orchestrate design and prediction workflows in natural language.
