Move over AlphaFold3. Boltz-2 has arrived, bringing affinity prediction for protein-small molecule interactions!

Can’t wait to see what this group does next. Congrats to all @gcorso.bsky.social

Was a pleasure writing 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… 🤗🚀
