BioNeMo is NVIDIA's development platform for AI-driven biology and drug discovery. It bundles open biology foundation models, libraries, datasets, and GPU-optimized training recipes, plus NVIDIA NIM microservices that package models for protein structure prediction, molecular design, and virtual screening. The BioNeMo Framework is open source; production models deploy as managed microservices.

Pros & cons

  • Open-source framework (Apache-2.0)
  • GPU-optimized training and inference
  • Prebuilt models for protein and molecule tasks
  • NIM microservices for production deployment
  • Requires NVIDIA GPUs
  • Steep learning curve for non-ML scientists
  • Production microservices are paid

    Isomorphic Labs

    Isomorphic Labs

    AI-first drug design built on AlphaFold for pharma R&D.

    Isomorphic Labs is an AI-first drug discovery company spun out of Google DeepMind, building generative and predictive ML models for molecular design and drug-performance prediction. Its Drug Design Engine builds on AlphaFold to advance internal and partnered pipelines with Eli Lilly, Novartis, and J&J. It is a drug-discovery company that works through pharma R&D partnerships rather than a self-serve product.

    EvolutionaryScale

    EvolutionaryScale

    Frontier protein language models (the ESM family) for biology.

    EvolutionaryScale builds frontier protein language models — the ESM family, including ESM3, which reasons jointly over sequence, structure, and function. ESM3-open ships open weights and code under a non-commercial license, while larger models are served via its Forge API and AWS/NVIDIA partnerships. It is both an open-model provider and an API platform for protein design and understanding.

    Chai Discovery

    Chai Discovery

    Foundation models for molecular structure and antibody design.

    Chai Discovery builds foundation models for drug discovery — Chai-1 for biomolecular structure prediction across proteins, ligands, DNA/RNA, and glycans, and Chai-2 for de novo antibody design. Chai-1 weights and inference code are released for non-commercial use, and a free web server runs the model in-browser. It is both a model provider and a usable platform.

    Recursion

    Recursion Pharmaceuticals

    AI-driven drug discovery on the Recursion OS platform.

    Recursion is a clinical-stage, technology-enabled drug discovery company built around Recursion OS, which pairs one of biopharma's largest proprietary datasets with automated wet labs and machine learning for target and molecule discovery. Its LOWE interface lets scientists query the platform in natural language to find targets, generate compounds, and schedule experiments. It advances an internal pipeline and partners with pharma rather than selling self-serve software.
