This review examines the findings of a series of studies, where we have sought to come up with a better prediction model, by comparing the performances of the GSE to Abraham's Solvation Equation (ABSOLV), and Random Forest regression (RFR) machine-learning (ML) method. Large, well-curated aqueous intrinsic solubility databases are available. However, drugs may be sparsely distributed in chemical space, concentrated in clusters. Even a large database might overlook some regions. Test compounds from under-represented portions of space may be poorly predicted, as might be the case with the 'loose' set of 32 drugs in the Second Solubility Challenge (2020). There appears to be still a need for better coverage of drug space. Increasingly, current trends in predictions of solubility use calculated input descriptors, which may be an advantage for exploring properties of molecules yet to be synthesized. The risk may be that overall prediction approaches might be based on accumulated uncertainty. The increasing use of ML/AI methods can lead to accurate predictions, but such predictions may not readily suggest the strategies to pursue in selecting yet-to-be-synthesized compounds. Based on our latest findings, we recommend predictions based on both 'grouped' ABSOLV(GRP) and 'Flexible Acceptor' GSE(<i>Φ</i>,<i>B</i>) models with the provided best-fit parameters, where <i>Φ</i> is the Kier molecular flexibility index and <i>B</i> is the Abraham H-bond acceptor strength.
