We’re partnering with @Anthropic to launch the biggest Protein Design Competition in the world, challenging people around the world to use AI to design new potential drug candidates for diseases that affect millions of lives.
The competition will feature five challenges, each focused on a specific disease or biological mechanism. Compared to previous competitions, it will be a big step-up in complexity and scale to push the boundaries of AI-driven protein design.
Together with Anthropic, we’re sponsoring over $1 million in experimental validation, making it possible to test more than 5,000 protein designs in our automated lab at no cost to participants. Anthropic is providing an additional $1 million in Claude credits.
All experimental results will be published openly on @Proteinbase, including designs that didn’t work, so anyone can access the data and build on what we learn.
The competition is open to everyone and free to enter. It will feature 3 tracks:
- Track 1 is aimed at expert protein designers, with up to 20 teams to be selected.
- Track 2 is targeting life science academics and industry researchers.
- Track 3 is open to everyone from tech enthusiasts to high-school students.
By combining Anthropic’s models with access to our automated lab, we want to make it possible for anyone with a laptop and an internet connection to join the global effort to advance human health with AI.
A big thanks to @Modal for contributing compute for protein design and to @TwistBioscience for contributing the DNA for the experimental validation!

@z0rynx I built something that could enhance this by a lot: https://t.co/19neEBnLj9
Point your ai to it and ask it if it’s useful for your second brain, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed
If you use Claude on your terminal I recommend checking this one out: https://t.co/8wtqDz8t2O
@Solvoryn@bridgemindai How has codex faired? Wanna switch to cursor ? Open router? Glm? The new Japanese one (though I think you need to be Japanese).
I’m doing less coding/engineering projects and I feel there is no real reliable model
@muskaan___07 Claude best performance, theoretically best philosophy but gpt best usage for performance and grok is best usage for high paying users but worst at most things. Gemini shouldn’t even be in here
I spent 100 hours over the past week researching, writing and editing the piece we just put out.
It’s a scenario, not a prediction like most of our work. But it was rigorously constructed, dismissing it outright requires the kind of intellectual laziness that tends to get expensive.
And we’ve released it for free. Hopefully you enjoy it.
