5 months from Latent-X1 to Latent-X2. AI-generated antibodies with drug-like developability and low immunogenicity in human panels — zero-shot.
Available now for selected partners.

Nice! AlphaFold3 server added interactive pAE and chain division! Including option to download MSA. (Just noticed this when doing a tutorial today!)
I still fondly remember tracking down tensorflow bugs with Simon while we were building AlphaFold2, very exciting to see how far things have progressed.
Keen to see the amazing work @Latent_Labs will do!
@Latent_Labs comes out of stealth today with $50M funding. Our goal? To push the frontiers of generative biology, giving partners instant access to tools capable of accelerating drug design.
Every biotech or pharma company searching for the best therapeutic molecules understands the role AI can play - but not all are in a position to develop their own advanced models. That’s where @Latent_Labs comes in.

Honoured and proud to be at the @NobelPrize ceremony today with some of the key members of the AlphaFold team where our @GoogleDeepMind colleagues @demishassabis and John Jumper will be co-awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Demis Hassabis and John Jumper, the 2024 Nobel Prize laureates in chemistry, have developed an AI model to solve a 50-year-old problem: predicting proteins’ complex structures.
In 2020, Hassabis and Jumper presented an AI model called AlphaFold2. With its help, they have been able to predict the structure of virtually all the 200 million proteins that researchers have identified. Since their breakthrough, AlphaFold2 has been used by more than two million people from 190 countries. Among a myriad of scientific applications, researchers can now better understand antibiotic resistance and create images of enzymes that can decompose plastic.
The illustration below explains how it works.

I am so excited to see this out!! It was an amazing experience working with the team on new directions in the midst of the #AF2 release, and very thankful to be able to contribute. Fun fact, I called my model denoisaur 🦖🦕😂
PS Part of my decision to join @PrincetonCS was the
Announcing AlphaFold 3: our state-of-the-art AI model for predicting the structure and interactions of all life’s molecules. 🧬

Introducing Gemini 1.5 Flash ⚡
It’s a lighter-weight model, optimized for tasks where low latency and cost matter most. Starting today, developers can use it with up to 1 million tokens in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI. #GoogleIO

We love the excitement & results from the community on AlphaFold 3 and are doubling the AF Server daily job limit to 20. Happy to also share that we're working on releasing the AF3 model (incl weights) for academic use, which doesn’t depend on our research infra, within 6 months.
