Biotech startup Profluent has announced the launch of ProGen3, a new AI foundation model designed for protein generation. This model is based on newly discovered AI scaling laws that can optimize compute resources up to 46 billion parameters using 1.5 trillion tokens, showing real-world evidence in laboratory settings. ProGen3 addresses challenges in drug discovery by enabling the single-shot design of antibodies for 20 drug targets, which collectively have projected sales of $660 billion. The development highlights emergent capabilities as AI models scale, marking a significant advancement in the intersection of AI and biology. This follows a trend in the biotechnology sector, as exemplified by Nvidia's Isomorphic Labs, which is also leveraging AI to innovate drug discovery processes.
