Introducing AlphaProtein Novo, a pipeline for de novo enzyme design! In collaboration with @francesarnold's group, we developed AP Novo and used it to get SoTA "novel-scaffold" activity on 2 benchmark reactions and create enzymes to synthesize the pharmaceutical motif piperidine and degrade the environmental toxin DEHP.
Work led by @ZvxyWu @ZiqiLi0513 with teammates @alexechu_ @kelly_ruijie @schulluc @jacobjinkelly @rosaliags @davidla @solserpens @j_reisenbauer, @pengliu_group, Josh, Thomas, Amy, Tristan, Harshnira, and others. It was a joy and privilege to work with you all!

We are thrilled to announce that Google’s Satellite Embedding dataset, powered by @GoogleDeepMind's AlphaEarth Foundations model, has been updated for 2025. This additional year of coverage now unlocks the ability to look back, compare, and detect change across the planet with unprecedented clarity. Learn more here ➡️ goo.gle/3NdIxWn
Part of Google's Earth AI, the new data represents the state of the planet throughout 2025, distilling petabytes of multi-sensor data into a 64-dimensional embedding for every 10 meter pixel.
What’s new in this update? 🧵👇
- 🌍 2025 Data: The state of the planet throughout 2025 is now available on the Earth Engine Data Catalog and Google Cloud Storage.
- 🔬 Unprecedented Change Detection: Because these embeddings capture subtle spectral, spatial and temporal signatures, they make it easy to spot significant year-over-year changes without the heavy lifting of raw image processing.
- 💚 Long-term Commitment: We are formalizing our commitment to the ongoing production of these annual layers to support your operational workflows.
Since we first launched the Satellite Embedding dataset, we’ve been inspired by how our community is putting this data to work. Applications are ranging from ecosystem mapping and agricultural crop-typing to carbon stock prediction. We can’t wait to see what you do next.

Really happy to share our new paper on using AlphaEvolve for mathematical exploration at scale, written with Javier Gómez-Serrano, Terence Tao, and @GoogleDeepMind's Bogdan Georgiev. We tested it on 67 problems and documented all our successes and failures. 🧵

Our new AI model AlphaEarth Foundations is mapping the planet in astonishing detail. 🌏🔍
Scientists will now be able to track the impact of deforestation, monitoring crop health, and more – significantly faster, thanks to our new datasets. 🧵

Pretty pleased with what I’ve seen inside this model (aka sequence rules learned), some of their predictions better recapitulate our CRISPR experiments in mouse than our own, smaller models. Excited to see the release!
Happy to introduce AlphaGenome, @GoogleDeepMind's new AI model for genomics.
AlphaGenome offers a comprehensive view of the human non-coding genome by predicting the impact of DNA variations. It will deepen our understanding of disease biology and open new avenues of research.

We’re celebrating a year of #AlphaFold 3 🧬✨
It’s been used to predict millions of molecular interactions – and scientists are using those predictions to accelerate research across crop immunity, bacterial resistance and more.
And at @IsomorphicLabs, they've been using it with their cutting-edge drug design engine with an ambition to change how new medicines are created. 💊

Excited to share details of AlphaGeometry2 (AG2), part of the system that achieved silver-medal standard at IMO 2024 last July! AG2 now has surpassed the average gold-medalist in solving Olympiad geometry problems, achieving a solving rate of 84% for all IMO geometry problems over the last 25 years, compared to 54% previously! Figure is a crazy problem solved elegantly by AG2 (for the first time according to our knowledge!). Will follow up with more details later in a thread.

Special thanks to Dawsen Hwang, Edward Lockhart, and Steven Creech for contributions to the development of AlphaGeometry2. We would also like to thank Yifeng Lu, Henryk Michalewski, Ed Chi, David Silver, Pushmeet Kohli, and Demis Hassabis for their thoughtful discussions, help and support.
Super thrilled to share that our AI has has now reached silver medalist level in Math at #imo2024 (1 point away from 🥇)! Since Jan, we now not only have a much stronger version of #AlphaGeometry, but also an entirely new system called #AlphaProof, capable of solving many more Olympiad problems. This is a large-scale project that I was fortunate to co-lead at @GoogleDeepMind! See our blog & NYT articel below!
