(2/2) Try Litmus Bench 👇

🧠 Most LLMs can recall chemistry facts. Few can reason about the science.
⚠️ The problem: Most chemistry benchmarks are multiple-choice, and up to 1 in 5 answers are wrong. High scores often don’t reflect true understanding.
✅ The solution: Litmus Bench fixes this with exact question-answer pairs grounded in verified chemistry data.
🔓 Now open-source with a NeMo Gym environment, Litmus Bench is the chemistry boost used by Nemotron 3 Ultra and is ready to add to your training and evaluation stack.
Let's build models that think in molecules.

Very cool to see that @nvidia's CEO has just announced their new BioNeMo cloud service in his keynote and highlighted DiffDock as the molecular docking algorithm they have chosen to integrate! Great to see the power of open-source science! youtube.com/watch?v=DiGB5uAY…

In protein design, "adversarial sequences" are protein sequences predicted to fold into a certain structure but which are insoluble in practice. Our new preprint introduces BayesDesign, a design algorithm less prone to generating insoluble sequences. Link: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Incredibly excited about this! 🧵👇
At the end of last week @nvidia announced early access to the BioNeMo Service (developer.nvidia.com/blog/pr…). Beyond access to the first NVIDIA trained pLM inspired by the successes of the community, this is the first glimpse into something NVIDIAns have engineered for months…

New preprint with @ProfMonaSingh. We present vcMSA, a totally new algorithm for multiple sequence alignment that's based on clustering protein language representations of amino acids. No gaps penalties, substitution matrices, or guide trees required. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Since early in the year at @huggingface we have been building an amazing Moonshot team to contribute to the OS ecosystem in different domains😍
ML for Art, Healthcare, Proteins, Mobile ML, and more to come! Very cool things to come 🔥

Massive news: eLife to abolish accept/reject decisions: papers will just be “peer reviewed”. Others can argue about this, but lots of interesting consequences. 1/9 elifesciences.org/articles/8…

Following that, I'll co-host two live panels on Thursday with @druau and others in EU-friendly time:
1. The Rise of Transformer AI and Digital Twins in Health Care nvidia.com/gtc/session-catal…
2. AI-Powered Drug Discovery for Generative Chemistry and Proteins nvidia.com/gtc/session-catal…

I can finally blab about BioNemo OMG it was so difficult to keep this under wraps

Today NVIDIA announced BioNeMo framework and inference service, focused on development and serving of large transformer language models in biology and chemistry. Incredibly proud of what this team has accomplished!

Thoughtful benchmarks are essential for progress. Exciting to see this new development focusing on generalization tasks relevant to protein engineering.
A set of benchmark tasks for predicting protein fitness or function from sequence.

No biomedical organization should hold a conference in a state that outlaws abortion.
I support a protected bike lane on Adam Clayton Powell Blvd. from 110th to 155th streets, making a true #CentralHarlemBikeWay for #bikeNYC and pedestrians. @NYCMayorsOffice @ie_dickens @senatorccleare @kristin4harlem @Kristin4Harlem
