New antibody developability dataset by the Datapoints team at Ginkgo - I hope this becomes a standard benchmark in the future. Congrats to the team who onboarded these assays and are running them consistently at ~thousands of variants per week. Preprint link in 🧵

Excited to unveil Boltz-2, our new model capable not only of predicting structures but also binding affinities! Boltz-2 is the first AI model to approach the performance of FEP simulations while being more than 1000x faster! All open-sourced under MIT license! A thread… 🤗🚀

University budgets everywhere are getting slashed, and we hear many PhD students with accepted ICML papers can no longer afford to attend. We are stepping in to offer travel grants for researchers who lost funding. Sponsored by Pillar VC, Ormoni Bio, Latent Labs, and Cimulate

Ever wondered why masked diffusion outperforms other types of discrete diffusion? (e.g for EvoDiff) Alan figured out and then fixed it!
