As a solution to the inverse folding problem, this is THE enabling technology for molecular nanotechnology. I suggest anyone interested in this read Drexler’s Radical Abundance which talks about what is possible with atomically precise manufacturing built with custom designed proteins.

If anyone is interested in making this happen, contact me.

Hi, I'd love to chat -- could you please email me jordan[at]astro[dot]codes?

Sent. Nice domain btw.

I'm gonna check that book, I bet I will learn a lot.

I sometimes wonder how we are going to solve the scaling problems around silicon and energy for this kind of AI applications. Think about this: a life-saving cancer drug may need to be custom-designed for a patient by using a few Giga-joules of energy to feed a data-center.

Most of the energy goes into building these models. Applying the model takes orders of magnitude less energy, and can run on efficient hardware that is optimized for that purpose. It's not going to take a gigaojoules of energy to infer custom solutions from a prompt.

Good luck- this has been a long-term interest of mine, but one that has not really led to any forward progress. Lithography continues to be a far more approachable technology.

Would love to contribute, please contact me at variofab(at)icloud(dot)com
