LeoTZ03 · x · 2026-10-28
Molence Bio, a new company from the Protenix team, has open-sourced Mol-1, a frontier biomolecular intelligence model (Apache-2.0 on GitHub).
- 75.0% on FoldBench-AB, near IsoDDE's reported 75.58%
- Handles 60k-token assemblies on a single H20 GPU, claiming to outperform Anthropic's offering
- VHH binding hit rate up to 63%, with best SPR KD at 43 pM
Ships with inference and finetuning demo scripts, CUDA/CPU support, and a technical report — a notable open-source advance in protein/biomolecular structure prediction and design.
