Combinatorial optimisation (CO) problems are among the hardest challenges in computer science, with real-world importance in logistics, transport, and energy systems. These problems involve choosing the “best” option from an astronomically large set of possibilities and are often NP-hard, meaning they become computationally intractable as the problem size grows. Neural solvers, advanced AI approaches designed… Read more »
Reinforcement learning (RL) has delivered some of AI’s most striking successes, from human-level Atari 1 play to world-class performance in Go2. Yet when applied to messy, real-world combinatorial optimisation (CO) problems such as energy grid management or autonomous logistics, even state-of-the-art RL systems can stall. Despite being trained to convergence, policies often hit a performance… Read more »
Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) holds significant promise across domains such as autonomous driving, warehouse logistics, intelligent rail networks, and satellite alignment. Yet deploying MARL in the real world remains difficult. Training typically requires vast amounts of interactive data, which is both costly and potentially risky, particularly in safety-critical settings where trial and error is not… Read more »

The day brought together investors, analysts, media representatives and guests to explore how artificial intelligence could transform science and medicine. As part of BioNTech’s AI ecosystem, InstaDeep showcased the progress made across multiple fronts, from advanced… Read more »
Africa’s AI community gathers annually for the Deep Learning Indaba to exchange ideas, learn, and dream big. As InstaDeep we have supported this journey from the start, both through sponsorship including travel grants that help students from across Africa attend and by engaging actively in the community. This year in Kigali, we teamed together with… Read more »
Continuing our commitment to supporting AI talent in the region, InstaDeep was proud to sponsor and take part at the 6th edition of IndabaX Tunisia 2025, held on May 3-4 at the Higher School of Communication of Tunis (Sup’Com) and organised by the IEEE SupCom Student Branch. IndabaX Tunisia has established itself as a key… Read more »
Antibodies play an important role in the adaptive immune response. By selectively recognising and binding to specific antigens—such as viruses or bacteria—they neutralise threats and are essential to both acute and long-term immunity. This ability to target a wide range of molecules has made antibodies indispensable to therapeutic development, fueling a market valued at $252.6… Read more »
AI is revolutionising proteomics and has the potential to unlock new frontiers in targeted healthcare and biomedical research. At the heart of this is peptide sequencing, an essential process for understanding proteins and their role in biological systems. Why Peptides? Peptides are the building blocks of proteins. Accurately sequencing them drives advancements in drug discovery,… Read more »
Proteins are essential to life, driving nearly every biological process and performing critical functions in the human body—from building muscles to fighting diseases. Understanding these intricate molecules has long challenged researchers, but advancements in AI could change that. What is ProtBFN? There are 20 proteinogenic amino acids that make up proteins. Arranged in specific sequences,… Read more »
The AI Action Summit was an event that brought together world leaders, business experts and research luminaries as they uncovered the path ahead for the development of AI around the globe, and with the InstaDeep team being in the thick of the action throughout. Join us as we share some of the highlights below, and… Read more »
