🆕Biohub’s Protein World Model: ESMC-6B, ESMFold2, 6.8B proteins, 1.1B structures, antibody design, SAEs, & the bitter lesson for biology latent.space/p/esmfold2

@biohub Head of Science @alexrives explains why biology may scale like language modeling, how metagenomics unlocked the next ESM scaling curve, why protein LMs can learn structure/function from sequence alone, how sparse autoencoders reveal biology inside the model, why ESMFold2 can beat specialized systems on antibody-antigen prediction, and how Biohub’s $500M Virtual Biology Initiative aims to build predictive models of cells, disease, and eventually physiology.
