The honest brief

EvolutionaryScale

The team behind Meta's original ESM models, now shipping open ESM3 weights plus a hosted Forge API — research-grade openness with commercial serving.

  • Open ESM3 weights
  • Reasons over sequence/structure/function
  • Served via AWS and NVIDIA partnerships
  • Ex-Meta ESM team
  • Open weights non-commercial only
  • Forge in closed beta
  • Largest models gated
  • Pricing undisclosed

Latent Labs

Puts frontier protein-binder design in a no-code browser app — lab-validated hit rates without the HPC setup most de novo design tools require.

  • Upload a target, generate candidates
  • Lab-validated binders
  • AlphaFold-pedigree team
  • Free early access
  • Early access only
  • Narrow to protein design
  • Pricing unconfirmed
  • Requires waitlist
