Goodbye Singapore! Thanks for everything.

Congratulations to Peter Holderrieth @msalbergo.bsky.social and Tommi Jaakkola for winning the best paper award for their work entitled "LEAPS: A discrete neural sampler via locally equivariant networks" at this year's Frontiers in Probabilistic Inference workshop #ICLR2025!

Finally reached the limit of capability for my M1 Pro MacBook: Lightroom editing of 17 stitched 60Mp L compressed RAW.

Beautiful night to gather the techbio community in Singapore! #ICLR2025 @recursionpharma.bsky.social @valenceai.bsky.social

Heading to 🇸🇬 for #ICLR2025! Amazing work from our NVIDIA digital biology teams the whole week, plus a great opportunity to visit our local colleagues. Come say hi!

One of my favorite flight experiences descending into Newark right now. Smooth as silk air, snow up at 1K ft flying by the window lit up by our approach lights.

Walking around Rockland today.

“It tackles the big next step after AlphaFold 3,” Luca Naef, VantAI’s CTO, told me. I talked with CEO Zach Carpenter, @lucanaef.bsky.social Luca, and @mmbronstein.bsky.social on VantAI's most substantive update since its 2019 start. My exclusive for @endpts.com: endpts.com/exclusive-va...

Exclusive: Roivant-backed VantAI debuts AI model Neo-1, taking ‘the big next step’ after AlphaFold 3

VantAI unveils Neo-1, an AI model that simultaneously predicts biomolecule structures and generates new molecular glues, claiming advancement beyond AlphaFold 3's capabilities.

I finally did it, a picture with the great @mmbronstein.bsky.social!! Enjoying the talk so far at #GTC2025, “Advancing Molecular Design with Deep Learning”.

New paper (and #ICLR2025 Oral :)): ProtComposer: Compositional Protein Structure Generation with 3D Ellipsoids arxiv.org/abs/2503.05025 Condition on your 3D layout (of ellipsoids) to generate proteins like this or to get better designability/diversity/novelty tradeoffs. 1/6

The Evo 2 authors join us tomorrow in the reading group to discuss their paper: "Genome modeling and design across all domains of life with Evo 2" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Join on zoom (Monday) at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 6pm CET: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I prefer more light later in the day and would therefore like to see DST become permanent. But mostly I just want to stop the changes.

By my count, I have four different Nature accounts, and there is absolutely no way to link them all up.

@lilasciences.bsky.social 3rd follow! I’ll take it.

We at LilaSciences are excited to come out of stealth! Join us at #NeurIPS2024 for a happy hour co-hosted with Nvidia, featuring a discussion on AI in science with Max Welling and Chris Bishop. If you’ll be at NeurIPS this year, we’d love to see you! RSVP here: lu.ma/nt1c4vf4

@geraldundone.bsky.social happy you’re here!

Three BioML starter packs now! Pack 1: go.bsky.app/2VWBcCd Pack 2: go.bsky.app/Bw84Hmc Pack 3: go.bsky.app/NAKYUok DM if you want to be included (or nominate people who should be!)

If @nathanbenaich.bsky.social really digs in here I might really be able to make a majority platform switch. No pressure.

So many great collaborators, friends, colleagues, and #techbio leaders will be here. Unfortunately I’m going to miss the conference this year, but come find all my awesome colleagues!

Planning to attend the Superbowl of ML conferences? #NeurIPS (@neuripsconf.bsky.social) is coming to Vancouver Dec. 10-15 & @valenceai.bsky.social will be on site presenting 10+ accepted papers & cohosting a “Night of Science” #TechBio social w/ us & NVIDIA on Thurs. 12/12 👉 RSVP: lu.ma/biikt7ox

I feel like I’ve put together a pretty informative network of folks in AI/ML for chem, bio, genomics, materials, physics, and science generally, at least on par with what I had on Twitter. Thanks to all of you for doing the hard work up front. Don’t understand the vibe yet, but it feels exciting!

GPUs are *fast* at aligning protein sequences (and profiles!). 178x faster than JackHMMER! In ColabFold, 23x faster end-to-end compared to AlphaFold2 reaching the same accuracy! You get immediate speedups for all methods leveraging MSAs, from DCA, to PoET, and even AlphaFold3!

MSAs go brrr with MMseqs2-GPU! Super fun project, happy to work with and learn from a stellar team of engineers and scientists. Try it out and stay tuned! 📄 Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 💾 Code: mmseqs.com 🗞️ Blog: developer.nvidia.com/blog/boost-a...

You all have done some wonderful things curating a community while I’ve been lurking. There may be some phantom me accounts lying around in ways I can’t figure out to access anymore, but this is me for real, the one from NVIDIA interested in all things computing and digital bio!
