Remember the dream of modeling - get to market 3 months sooner and you make 1-2B USD. Or, defend a patent or help evade/break one. For blockbuster drugs, 90 days off the multi-year drug development process is serious coin. And we'll need such speed when paxlovid starts encountering resistance.
I work in pharma and used to work on DOCK (the UCSF code). Nobody in pharma believes that speeding up docking is making a difference to get to market. Well, not nobody, but certainly not the decision makers. We all wish there was "Press Button, Spend Money, Get Leads Quick".
