Gleb Kuznetsov(@glebkuz):A nice small example of AI acceleration in biology happening in real time: Last week, as part of our announcement of mBER-2, @ManifoldBio’s latest protein design model, we shared that we expanded design to 50 compact protein formats from nature, just 10-45 amino acids long. We called them “microbinders.” Just one week later, “protein microbinders” are already an official category in the Anthropic × Adaptyv protein design competition. Google protein "microbinders” and the AI Overview already describes the category, citing our announcement. Excited to see the community expand into these formats!
