About AlphaFold
These exquisite, intricate machines are proteins. They underpin not just the biological processes in your body but every biological process in every living thing. They’re the building blocks of life. Currently, there are around 100 million known distinct proteins, with many more found every year. Each one has a unique 3D shape that determines how it works and what it does. But figuring out the exact structure of a protein remains an expensive and often time-consuming process, meaning we only know the exact 3D structure of a tiny fraction of the proteins known to science. Finding a way to close this rapidly expanding gap and predict the structure of millions of unknown proteins could not only help us tackle disease and more quickly find new medicines but perhaps also unlock the mysteries of how life itself works.

ESMFold
ESMFold shows how AI can give us new tools to understand the natural world, much like the microscope, which enabled us to see into the world at an infinitesimal scale and opened up a whole new understanding of life. AI can help us understand the immense scope of natural diversity, and see biology in a new way. Much of AI research has focused on helping computers understand the world in a way similar to how humans do. The language of proteins is one that is beyond human comprehension and has eluded even the most powerful computational tools. AI has the potential to open up this language to our understanding. Studying AI in new domains such as biology can also give insight into artificial intelligence more broadly. Our work reveals connections across domains: large language models that are behind advances in machine translation, natural language understanding, speech recognition, and image generation are also able to learn deep information about biology.

ESMC
ESMC is the latest in the ESM family of protein language models, establishing a new frontier in representation learning for protein biology. Trained on billions of evolutionary sequences, it learns representations that reflect a mechanistic reduction of protein structure and function. The model is built on a transformer architecture, supports sequences as its core modality, and is trained on up to 6 billion proteins. ESMC is designed for protein science research, including structure prediction, function annotation, protein design, and understanding evolutionary relationships between proteins. It can generate novel proteins from partial sequence, structure, or functional constraints, helping researchers explore new possibilities in protein design and biological discovery. The Biohub Platform provides access to ESMC through the API and the ESM Python package, with quickstart resources for installing the package, creating an API key, connecting to the platform.

Claude Mythos 5
Claude Mythos 5 is Anthropic’s most advanced restricted-access AI model, designed for trusted cyberdefenders, infrastructure providers, and select research organizations. It uses the same underlying model as Claude Fable 5 but provides lifted safeguards in approved areas for specialized high-trust use cases. The model delivers exceptional capabilities in cybersecurity, software engineering, scientific research, long-context reasoning, vision, and autonomous task execution. Anthropic initially deployed Claude Mythos 5 through Project Glasswing in collaboration with the U.S. government to help protect critical software and infrastructure. The model also shows strong potential in life sciences, including protein design, molecular biology hypothesis generation, and genomics research. Claude Mythos 5 is built for organizations that need frontier AI capabilities under controlled, trusted-access conditions.

NVIDIA BioNeMo
BioNeMo is an AI-powered drug discovery cloud service and framework built on NVIDIA NeMo Megatron for training and deploying large biomolecular transformer AI models at a supercomputing scale. The service includes pre-trained large language models (LLMs) and native support for common file formats for proteins, DNA, RNA, and chemistry, providing data loaders for SMILES for molecular structures and FASTA for amino acid and nucleotide sequences. The BioNeMo framework will also be available for download for running on your own infrastructure. ESM-1, based on Meta AI’s state-of-the-art ESM-1b, and ProtT5 are transformer-based protein language models that can be used to generate learned embeddings for tasks like protein structure and property prediction. OpenFold, a deep learning model for 3D structure prediction of novel protein sequences, will be available in BioNeMo service.
