India-US interim trade deal prospects dim ahead of tariff deadline, sources say

By Manoj Kumar NEW DELHI (Reuters) -The prospects of an interim trade deal between India and the United States before Washington's August 1 deadline have dimmed, as talks remain deadlocked over tariff cuts on key agricultural and dairy products, two Indian government sources said. U.S. President Donald Trump threatened a 26% tariff on Indian imports in April but paused implementation to allow for talks. That pause ends on August 1, though India has yet to receive a formal tariff letter, unlike over 20 other countries. India's trade delegation, led by chief negotiator Rajesh Agrawal, returned from Washington after a fifth round of talks without a breakthrough. "An interim deal before August 1 looks difficult, though virtual discussions are ongoing," one of the Indian government sources said, adding a U.S. delegation was expected to visit New Delhi soon to continue negotiations. Talks are stalled as New Delhi is refusing to open its politically-sensitive agriculture and dairy sectors, while Washington is resisting India's demand for relief from higher tariffs on steel, aluminium and autos. Officials are exploring if these issues can be deferred to a later stage, after an interim deal, the second Indian official said. Ajay Sahai, director general of the Federation of Indian Export Organisations, warned sectors like gems and jewellery could be hit hard if 26% tariffs are imposed. "However, this could be temporary, as both countries aim to sign the deal over time," he said. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC on Monday that the Trump administration was more concerned with the quality of trade agreements than their timing. Asked if the deadline could be extended for countries in talks, he said it was up to Trump. Indian officials remain hopeful of clinching a broader deal by September or October, in line with what was agreed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Trump in February. "Given that there have been five rounds of negotiations and another U.S. delegation is expected, we remain optimistic about finalising a trade pact," a third government source said. The sources requested anonymity as negotiations are not public. The Indian commerce ministry and the U.S. Trade Representative's Office did not immediately respond to emailed requests for comments.

Introducing Latent-X, a Frontier Generative AI Model for Protein Binder Design Accessible via No-Code Platform for Push-Button Protein Design

LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Latent Labs is launching Latent-X, a frontier AI model for push button protein design, outperforming competing models under identical laboratory conditions. The model is available for early access on Latent's no-code AI protein design platform, where users can upload protein targets and generate cyclic peptides and mini-binders directly in the browser. Through the platform, users can generate, explore, and score binder designs, selecting top-ranked structures for further lab testing. The platform includes a free tier for both commercial and non-commercial users. Sign up is available at Latent Labs is a frontier AI lab working to transform the expensive, labor intensive, and high failure rate processes of drug discovery into automated drug design. Traditional drug discovery requires screening millions of random molecules—a process where hit rates are typically well below 1% and each experiment takes months and costs thousands of dollars. With Latent-X, drug designers can generate high-confidence binders with the push of a button, achieving what would typically require testing millions of candidates by testing as little as 30 candidates per target. AI models have recently enabled solutions to previously insurmountable technical challenges in biology. With generative models, frontier AI can go beyond predicting structures to creating new sequences and structures of candidate drugs. "We envision a future where effective therapeutics can be designed entirely in a computer, much like how space missions or semiconductors are designed today," said Simon Kohl, CEO and founder of Latent Labs. "Our platform empowers scientists with lab-validated protein binder design at their fingertips, whether they're experts or new to AI-powered drug design, and without needing AI infrastructure. This is the first step on our mission toward making biology programmable in order to make drug design instantaneous." Latent-X generates functional, high affinity de novo binders with breakthrough laboratory performance. In extensive wet lab experiments across 7 therapeutic targets, Latent-X achieved 91-100% hit rates for macrocycles and 10-64% hit rates for mini-binders. The model delivered picomolar binding affinities for mini-binders and single-digit micromolar affinities for macrocycles, with generated binders showing strong target specificity. In head-to-head experimental comparisons, Latent-X exceeded the prior state-of-the-art, outperforming existing generative tools in both in silico evaluations and laboratory validation. Macrocycles are a sought after drug modality for their potential oral deliverability, with their compactness promising tissue permeability while retaining specificity. Mini-binders are a versatile new binder modality that offers high specificity in a flexible format. Full results are available in our technical report: The Latent Labs Platform allows users to access the state of the art in protein binder design in an intuitive platform for target upload, hotspot selection, binder design, and computational ranking. The platform features structure visualization, predicted structure overlays, and computational metric rankings allowing to replicate the AI workflows used to generate our successfully lab-validated binders. Latent-X is a general purpose frontier model that creates binders from scratch for unseen or previously untargeted proteins, solving the geometric puzzle of binding at the all-atom level. The model generates designs over 10x faster than previous methods and co-samples sequence and structure simultaneously, allowing for computational experimentation within seconds. Latent-X generalizes beyond nature's repertoire by generating all-atom binder structures that obey atomic-level biochemical rules, opening doors to other therapeutic modalities that depend on target-specific binding—nanobodies and antibodies being prime examples. The company is now open to partnerships to bring these expanded capabilities to new drug applications. Only five months ago Latent Labs announced its $50M funding round co-lead by Radical Ventures and Sofinnova Partners, with participation by Google's Chief Scientist Jeff Dean, Anthropic's CEO Dario Amodei and Eleven Labs' CEO Mati Staniszewski. The team consists of former AlphaFold 2 co-developers, ex-DeepMind team leads, and brings rich experience from Microsoft, Apple, Stability AI, Exscientia, Mammoth Bio, Altos Labs and Zymergen.
