A Generated Protein Is Not a Result: Protein Design in 2026
Protein generators propose different biological objects. A defensible design starts with the assay, records the complete computational stack, and preserves every experimental denominator.

MIMIC: One 1B Model Across the Central Dogma, and Why Multimodality Beats Scale
A 1-billion-parameter model conditioned on RNA chemical-probing reactivity folds a held-out transcript to an F1 of 0.987 against an experimentally guided reference.
Biology's Secret Weapon: Physics-Based Benchmarks for Training RL Agents
Why biological systems offer the ideal training ground for reinforcement learning: automated verification through physics, not human judgment. From protein design with AlphaFold to RNA folding with ViennaRNA, biology provides the verifiable inverse problems that RL needs at scale.
