Extremely excited to give a glimpse of what we've been working on over the past 2 years: unifying structure-prediction and de-novo generation. Neo-1 is an all-atom, fully generative model.
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)

Super excited for this - @HaldaTx is a pioneer in pushing the frontier of what can be done with proximity modulators - thrilled to push even further together.
We're thrilled to partner with @HaldaTx to expand the reach of their groundbreaking RIPTAC platform. Together, we're working to identify new therapeutic target-effector combinations that will help enable this innovative proximity-based approach to unlock new treatment

Second expansion and couldn't be more excited - it's been a privilege to be working with such a talented team at Blueprint!.
Excited to announce our second expansion in three years with @BlueprintMeds. Together, we will prioritize novel target-effector pairs for molecular glue development, aiming at previously undruggable targets, using our proximity modulator discovery platform powered by our Neo-1.

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

The heroes of this story of course is the absolutely cracked group of people that made this possible. And you can join them! recruiting@vant.ai.
This would’ve not been possible without the team behind it: @clemensisert, Michael Pun, @emaros96, Thomas Castiglione, Douglas Tischer, @AkdelMehmet, @dannykovtun, @MPegoraro42, Thomas Duignan, @a1zhang, @OleinikovasV, Graham Holt, @ShinaYusuf_, Patrick Kunzmann, Arjun Ramesh,.

Was a pleasure to give @AndrewE_Dunn an early peak who did a great job summarizing what this will enable, go read more about it below!.
“It tackles the big next step after AlphaFold 3,” Luca Naef, VantAI’s chief technology officer, told me. I talked with @zwcarpenter, @NaefLuca, and @mmbronstein on VantAI's most substantive update since its 2019 start. My exclusive for @endpts on Neo-1:
