Dwarkesh Patel The fact humans can usefully absorb that feedback and use it to drive ongoing improvement. Time spent teaching models doesn’t seem to have such good ROI.







Excited to finally share a project I've been working on for the past months! Protein designers have been pushing the boundaries of what is possible, and it's exciting to see a company like Adaptyv Bio empowering designers :)


We had a great time and learned so much contributing to the post-competition analysis of Adaptyv Bio's EGFR binder competition, working alongside an amazing consortium of authors from both academia and industry! 🎉 The preprint on crowdsourced #protein design, featuring



Pro-1, a protein design model by Michael Hla, doesn’t just propose mutations — it explains why it made them. We tested 19 of its FGF-1 designs in our lab and 3 of them improved thermostability while maintaining binding. In this protein designer spotlight we explain how

We’re grateful to many partners for making this possible: Oracle Cloud for the massive compute that was required; NVIDIA Healthcare for new GPU kernels and accelerating our sequence search; and Sino Biological Inc. and @AdaptyvBio for conducting many wet-lab experiments in the paper.



Chief content officer Tudor-Stefan Cotet strikes again with another protein designer spotlight. As an added bonus, this time he's teaching everyone about all the X-PO algorithms are about
