BFNs learn general patterns from vast datasets, making them remarkably flexible. Their unique approach allows for zero-shot conditional generation—they can tackle new tasks without further training! For antibodies, this means generating CDRs & FRs, key to binding & stability. Want to dive deeper? ???? We’ve got a blog post breaking down the science behind ProtBFN. Our models are open source on Hugging Face too, so give them a try! ?? Blog: https://bit.ly/3QIsWwm? ? GitHub: https://bit.ly/43pIIDR? ?? Hugging Face: https://bit.ly/4h5VvP7? ?? arXiv: https://bit.ly/3QRZHr7

Why does this matter? The space of possible protein sequences is astronomical. ProtBFN cuts through the noise, generating novel and biologically plausible sequences—helping to accelerate research in drug discovery, antibody design, and synthetic biology! ????

Proteins power life, but their complexity makes them hard to understand or design. We’re introducing ProtBFN, a 650M parameter Bayesian Flow Networks capable of generating natural, diverse and novel protein sequences. ?? Here's Tom Barrett, Staff Scientist at InstaDeep, to tell you more. Learn more on our blog: ?? https://bit.ly/3QIsWwm

AI is transforming industries—but scaling it efficiently and making it accessible is the real challenge. At the Paris #DellTechForum, AI and tech leaders, innovators, and pioneers gathered at the LE CARROUSEL DU LOUVRE to showcase what’s possible when expertise meets the latest technology. Joining the discussion, our CEO and Co-Founder Karim Beguir spoke to Gael Menu Deputy CEO of SCC France with moderator Anwar Dahab, Senior Vice President of Dell Technologies France to dive into the power of private AI and its role in healthcare, #biotech and enterprise efficiency—from AI-powered genomics and personalized cancer vaccines??to optimizing operations in aviation, rail networks, and logistics. In pursuit of this vital research, and together with SCC, we’re working with Dell to build scalable, high-performance AI infrastructure that accelerates biopharmaceutical research—supporting breakthroughs in potential new treatments. ??Catch up on the full discussion here: ?? https://bit.ly/3EVpSKx #MachineLearning #ArtificialIntelligence #AIForGood

????The AI Action Summit has been a milestone event, and we were honoured to join the conversation—bringing our vision, expertise, and solutions to the global stage.?? Joining international decision makers in planning AI’s future, our co-founder and CEO Karim Beguir attended the summit’s Plenary Session alongside U.S. VP JD Vance, French President Emmanuel Macron, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and others—discussing the next steps for AI worldwide. ??We connected with key players across Europe and Africa at roundtables and forums, meeting figures from the World Economic Forum, Agence Fran?aise de Développement (AFD) and more to talk about the creation of resilient, sustainable and inclusive AI solutions. And our #AIforGood team were on-hand to share #InstaGeo, our open-source geospatial ML solution selected among the top 50 AI projects by the Paris Peace Forum. At #AIBusinessDay, we connected with international decision-makers and industry leaders exploring AI’s potential, and there was more to come, as InstaDeep’s Thomas Pierrot took to the stage for “Foundations and Advances in Generative AI” on 13 February, organized by the #ML Department of MBZUAI (Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence), covering the latest in AI-powered genomics. ??Explore the highlights on our blog: https://bit.ly/4b7yklY
