Closed AI doesn't like biological research, user turns to open weight models

A user on Reddit's dev_community reported that OpenAI has fully shut down their protein design project. This decision has led the user to conclude that open-weight models are the only viable path forward for their work, suggesting a shift away from closed AI systems due to perceived limitations or restrictions on biological research.

This report highlights a user's direct experience, moving from OpenAI to open-weight models after a project shutdown, unlike general discussions about AI model preferences.
