Zuckerberg: EvolutionaryScale team joins Biohub under Alex Rives
“We're doing that by basically combining the team that we have, that's already put out all the models that we're talking about today, plus having the evolutionary scale team, which is just like very renowned join. And Alex is basically going to be running the p…”

Rives: Existing Tech Can Scale Biological Data 10x–100x Before Hitting Limits
“I think with current technology, you know, we can definitely kind of get, get data, 10 X to a hundred X where it is today with like relatively reasonable investments, you know, but then to get another 10 X or more in there, that's going to require, require a l…”

Rives: Sequence diversity teaches models structure while small variations teach function
“Having a vast diversity of sequences across a wide range of protein families is, you know, really critical for the emergence of this kind of structure Prediction capability, because I think kind of large diversity is what trains the model to understand, to dev…”

Biohub predicted 3D structures for 1.1 billion proteins from global sequence databases
“So we put together kind of all the world's largest protein sequence databases. And so that kind of amounts to 6.8 billion non-redundant proteins, and then we've resolved predicted structures for 1.1 billion of those, and we've also computed features across all…”

Rives: Curing disease requires personalized computational models, not conventional pills
“What is, you know, what is the cure to disease look like, right? It's not a pill, right? It's not a medicine in the conventional sense. You know, it's going to have to be a system that is capable of modeling and understanding, you know, the underlying physiolo…”

Scaling protein models by orders of magnitude unlocks emergent biological capabilities
“So our team has really explored that idea over a number of different years, and we've really kind of, I think, seen the scaling curve and really seen as we have increased models by an order of magnitude kind of in each generation that, you know, there's this e…”
