Research organization founded by Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg, released ESMFold2 protein biology world model.
“When we started that, we thought that that was really ambitious, cure and prevent all diseases this century. Now it's probably too conservative. I would guess it'll be much sooner than the end of the century when you get there.”
“Biohub's ESMFold2 release demonstrates that scaling laws apply to protein biology models just as they do to language models, and that inference-time scaling is now delivering real laboratory results.”
“Designs achieved hit rates of 36–88% for compact minibinders and 15–29% for antibody-derived formats, with confirmed binding in laboratory experiments.”
