Key AI Models and Products

• AbBFN2 (Antibody Bayesian Flow Network): A generative framework for antibody design with integrated, multi-objective modeling. It generates diverse and developable antibody candidates, consolidates complex design tasks in a single framework, and allows users to interactively steer outputs with user-defined conditions.
• ProtBFN: Explores the proteome using Bayesian Flow Networks to design novel, biologically plausible protein sequences. It supports sampling and evaluating proteins with a full joint distribution over sequences and allows conditioning on motifs, regions, or functional properties.
• Protein Folding: Enables folding of proteins and ligands at scale. Users can access and compare state-of-the-art folding models and advanced algorithms, leverage high-throughput batch processing with real-time monitoring, and find correlates and insights from experimental data to guide design decisions.
• InstaNovo and InstaNovo+: Refines peptide sequencing using transformer and diffusion-based generation. The tool sequences peptides without reference databases, discovers novel or modified peptides with high confidence, and enhances flexibility and coverage through diffusion-based sampling.
• Nucleotide Transformers (NT, SegmentNT, ChatNT, AgroNT): A suite of nucleotide-level models that deliver single-nucleotide resolution insights across the genome, enable engagement with biological data through natural language, and power agricultural research with domain-adapted NLP. AgroNT has been highlighted by industry leaders for accelerating trait discovery in maize, transforming years of lab work into rapid, AI-powered insights.
