Developer creates protein font using ESMFold and reverse differentiation
alex_peys · x · 2026-08-19
Inspired by Anthropic, a developer created a font made of proteins by reverse-differentiating through a folding model like ESMFold2. The process ensures the protein's distogram resembles a desired character. While Codex assisted, manual tuning was required. The pipeline is open-source but GPU-intensive.
