Training biomolecular foundation models shouldn't be so hard. And open-source structure prediction is important. So today we're releasing two software packages: AtomWorks and RosettaFold3 (RF3)

Late night experiment with @chrisfrank662.bsky.social :D
The backbone designability test. Start w/ backbone (diffusion, hallucination), put a sequence on it (proteinmpnn, esm-if), then the final test is to make sure it folds back to the original structure (alphafold, omegafold, esmfold) (1/3)
