“It tackles the big next step after AlphaFold 3,” Luca Naef, VantAI’s chief technology officer, told me. I talked with Zachary Carpenter, Ph.D., Luca Naef, and Michael Bronstein on VantAI's most substantive update since its 2019 start My exclusive for Endpoints News on Neo-1: endpts.com/exclusive-vant…

big man bio news! cc Luca Naef

Announcing Neo-1: the world’s most advanced atomistic foundation model, unifying structure prediction and all-atom de novo generation for the first time - to decode and design the structure of life 🧵(1/10)

Was a pleasure to give Andrew Dunn an early peak who did a great job summarizing what this will enable, go read more about it below!

The heroes of this story of course is the absolutely cracked group of people that made this possible. And you can join them! [email protected]

Big news from VantAI: Neo-1 integrates SOTA structure prediction and all-atom molecular generation into a single unified model -- an industry first to the best of my knowledge: vant.ai/neo-1

You can find an extensive report, with results, examples, metrics and lots of eye candy below

Combining prediction, generation, and modalities (sequence, structure, nucleic acids, small molecules, proteins) is the future. Congrats to the authors! Looking forward to the technical report.

Really cool to see Neo-1 released. Latent diffusion to combine structure prediction and molecular generation across modalities. #ai #drugdiscovery #genai

The era of rewiring protein interactions to treat disease is emerging all around us. AI will play a critical role in this unfolding story and we are thrilled to announce Neo-1, the first foundation model designed specifically with this incredible new modality in mind. Congrats to

Neo-1: Design and Decode the Structure of Life

this wouldn’t have been possible without the help amazing folks at NVIDIA Healthcare, GPU-mmseqs2 MSA was a critical piece for both inference and data gen

Congratulations to the entire VantAI team on an incredible step forward for generative molecular design. And proud that NVIDIA Healthcare was able to play a small part to ensure Neo-1 goes brrrrrrrrrrrr....

The VantAI team is breaking my X feed 🤣. Congrats on Neo-1 _everywhere_ Luca Naef Zachary Carpenter, Ph.D. Michael Bronstein and many more!

🗽 Air Street Capital nyc ai meetup 4/15 lineup complete, welcoming: - Luca Naef, cto/co-founder of VantAI (fresh off neo-1 model launch!) - Alberto Rizzoli, ceo/co-founder of V7 150 members of the research, product, eng ai community in new york! rsvp: airstreet(dot)com/nycai

last night's Air Street Capital nyc ai meetup hosted at Amazon Web Services showcased sota coding agents, workflow agents, generative user interfaces and protein and molecular design tools. some seriously impressive demos from: - Ash Edwards of Fern Labs with long-running computer agents -

Second expansion and couldn't be more excited - it's been a privilege to be working with such a talented team at Blueprint!

Thank you so much for your close partnership! Not possible with you and the incredible community behind these foundational technologies!
