Check out our new work, CycleReward, below! * Product: a drop-in replacement for things like CLIP; f(img, text) --> score * Idea: cycle-consistent mappings are good (encourages descriptive text, penalizes hallucinations), so we train a reward model to check for this

Excited to unveil Boltz-2, our new model capable not only of predicting structures but also binding affinities! Boltz-2 is the first AI model to approach the performance of FEP simulations while being more than 1000x faster! All open-sourced under MIT license! A thread… 🤗🚀

MIT CSAIL, MIT Jameel Clinic for AI & Health, & Recursion have released a protein-binding affinity model called "Boltz-2" that could expand the role of AI in drug discovery. The system predicts how molecules interact — & how tightly they bind — in record time: bit.ly/43NRlXr
