Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
MIT-licensed, openly available, strong measured results (de novo scFv at 4.3 nM PD-L1, antibody-antigen leadership where AlphaFold is weak) and very high activity make it a low-friction-to-try foundation, but preprint status and uneven modality reliability require guardrails.
Next
Pilot ESM-C embeddings + ESMFold2-Fast on an internal antibody/binder task behind validation gates; treat structure outputs as hypotheses pending wet-lab confirmation.
