EvolutionaryScale, a new AI research lab founded by former Meta scientists, has raised $142 million in seed funding. Led by Nat Friedman, Daniel Gross, and Lux Capital, the funding will support the development of ESM3, a generative language model for programming biology. ESM3 can simulate 500 million years of evolution to generate new fluorescent proteins. EvolutionaryScale is partnering with AWS and Nvidia to bring ESM3 to the life sciences sector. A pared-back version of ESM3 will be available for free to academics. Co-founder and chief scientist Alex Rives highlighted that ESM3 is the largest biological language model to date.
