Protein science researchers who need transformer-based sequence representations for structure prediction, function annotation, mutation analysis, and protein design
About 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.

Biohub
Biohub is an open platform for building on the world model of protein biology. It provides access to the ESM family of models, including ESMC, ESMFold2, and ESM3, along with interactive tools and developer resources for protein science research. ESMC is a state-of-the-art protein language model trained on billions of evolutionary sequences, building representations that capture fundamental mechanisms of protein structure and function. It powers functional analysis, structure prediction, protein design, and the exploration of evolutionary relationships between proteins. ESMFold2 predicts high-resolution, all-atom 3D structures of biomolecular complexes directly from sequence, with optional multiple sequence alignment input for enhanced accuracy on challenging targets. ESM3 jointly models sequence, structure, and function, enabling controllable generation of novel proteins by conditioning on any combination of these modalities.

Claude Mythos 5.1
Claude Mythos 5.1 is Anthropic’s newest Mythos-class model, designed for advanced cybersecurity, biology, scientific research, coding, and long-running knowledge work. It is the same underlying model as Claude Fable 5.1 but uses different safeguards: Fable 5.1 is generally available, while Mythos 5.1 is restricted to trusted access programs with safeguards specifically designed for cybersecurity and life sciences research. The model sets a new performance frontier for agentic coding and demonstrates the strongest cyber capabilities of any Anthropic model released to date. In scientific research, Mythos 5.1 can work with specialized tools and complex workflows across molecular design, computational biology, and other technical domains. In Anthropic’s experiments, it designed high-affinity protein binders across multiple targets and achieved its strongest measured hit rate to date. It also optimized seven open-source protein and genomics deep learning models.

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.
