    I'm so excited to show the world what we've been working on the for the past months!! I'm going to highlight some of the fun results from this paper that I find particularly exciting.

    Today we're announcing ESMFold2, an open scientific engine to power prediction, design, and discovery across protein biology. The new model delivers state of the art performance on protein interactions, especially antibodies, a critical modality for therapeutics. We have

    Simulating 500 million years of evolution with a language model
    More than three billion years of evolution have produced an image of biology encoded into the space of natural proteins. Here we show that language models trained on tokens generated by evolution can...

    🧵 Check out what I've been working on at @EvoscaleAI 🧵 We trained a bidirectional masked generative model on protein sequence, structure and function! From 1.4B to 98B parameters, our models are so good that beating ESMFold was just a footnote 🤯 👇👇👇

    We have trained ESM3 and we're excited to introduce EvolutionaryScale. ESM3 is a generative language model for programming biology. In experiments, we found ESM3 can simulate 500M years of evolution to generate new fluorescent proteins. Read more: evolutionaryscale.ai/blog/esm3-rele…

    I think it's probably safe to say the New York numbers are waaaaay higher than we're admitting though.

    In a Science study, @metaai researchers show the power of a large language model, #ESMFold, to enable protein structure prediction and analysis. Using ESMFold, they generated a database—the ESM Metagenomic Atlas—of over 600 million metagenomic proteins. scim.ag/1Uv

    Excited to present our work on single-sequence protein folding from a language model! By stacking a simple folding trunk and Alphafold2's structure module on top of the language model, we get accurate structure prediction in a fraction of the runtime.

    We have trained ESMFold to predict full atomic protein structure directly from language model representations of a single sequence. Accuracy is competitive with AlphaFold on most proteins with order of magnitude faster inference. By @metaai Protein Team. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

    Yeah but the out of domain datasets are literally languages the models haven't been trained on. Not surprising at all. The bigger takeaway is that it beats SentenceBERT on in-domain datasets...

    (pi * 10^7 seconds) is often a great mathematical approximation for 1 year, and can greatly simply some equations, especially in physics.
