Why HN links it

HN readers link EvolutionaryScale's posts on ESM3, a multimodal generative protein language model. The comments cite it as an example of AI producing original work, and one quotes its description.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

ESM3. Enabling scientists to understand, imagine, and create proteins.

What Hacker News says?

  1. There are many LLMs that are producing original "thought". ESM3: https://www.evolutionaryscale.ai/blog/esm3-release AlphaProof/AlphaGeometry2: https://deepmind.google/discover/blog/ai-solves-imo-problems... MatPilot discovering new materials: https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.08063 Then of course NVidia Omniverse with their digital-twin learning. https://blog.google/technology/ai/google-ai-big-scientific-b...

  3. Show HN: We trained a bidirectional masked generative model on protein sequence, structure and function. ESM3 work over tokenized representations of multiple modalities and can generate proteins with high fidelity and controllability. ESM3 further improves with feedback using alignment methods similar to Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) applied in LLMs. We have prompted ESM3 to generate fluorescent…
