In a paper published in , we introduce AlphaFold 3, a revolutionary model that can predict the structure and interactions of all life’s molecules with unprecedented accuracy. For the interactions of proteins with other molecule types we see at least a 50% improvement compared with existing prediction methods, and for some important categories of interaction we have doubled prediction accuracy.
Given an input list of molecules, generates their joint 3D structure, revealing how they all fit together. It models large biomolecules such as proteins, DNA and RNA, as well as small molecules, also known as ligands — a category encompassing many drugs. Furthermore, AlphaFold 3 can model chemical modifications to these molecules which control the healthy functioning of cells, that when disrupted can lead to disease.
AlphaFold 3’s predictions of molecular interactions surpass the accuracy of all existing systems. As a single model that computes entire molecular complexes in a holistic way, it’s uniquely able to unify scientific insights.
AlphaFold 3 is 50% more accurate than the best traditional methods on the without needing the input of any structural information, making AlphaFold 3 the first AI system to surpass physics-based tools for biomolecular structure prediction.
U.S. eyes curbs on China's access to AI software behind apps like ChatGPT
The Biden administration is poised to open up a new front in its effort to safeguard U.S. AI from with preliminary plans to place guardrails around the most advanced AI Models, the core software of artificial intelligence systems like ChatGPT, sources said.
The Commerce Department is considering a new regulatory push to restrict the export of proprietary or closed source models, whose software and the data it is trained on are kept under wraps, three people familiar with the matter said.
ByteDance had tested its Doubao LLM family, previously code-named Skylark, internally and with selected partners for about a year, according to Volcano Engine’s Tan.
Apart from that low-cost LLM initiative, ByteDance also announced on Wednesday other AI-related efforts, including an enterprise version of its Coze platform that enables users to customise chatbots.
The Beijing-based tech unicorn on Wednesday also unveiled an “intelligent device LLM alliance” with giants , and , as well as an “automobile LLM ecosystem alliance” with local carmakers and .
