Baker Lab and NVIDIA Unveil RFD4-Proteina, a Faster Protein Design Model That Beats Prior Methods
jueseph · x · 2026-10-21
The Institute for Protein Design (Baker Lab) and NVIDIA's GenAIR team have released RFD4-Proteina, a new biomolecular design model built on latent reasoning, after a year of collaboration.
- The team reports it significantly outperforms every method they compared against, both in silico and in the lab, while being faster
- David Baker is a senior author; the large author list spans UW, Oxford, Tsinghua and NVIDIA, with generative-modeling researchers like Arash Vahdat and Karsten Kreis involved
