Leveraging the power of large language models, evolutionary biologists have successfully simulated 500 million years of evolution. Called the EvolutionaryScale Model 3, or ESM3, this multimodal generative AI model created a green fluorescent protein that’s 58 percent similar to its closest, real-world cousin.

What if evolution could be simulated in a lab? At the intersection of artificial intelligence, biology, and evolutionary science, researchers have unveiled a tool that might just rewrite the rules of protein engineering.

An artificial intelligence model has created a new protein that researchers say would have taken 500 million years to evolve in nature — if nature were capable of producing such a thing.

A team of researchers has recently made a significant breakthrough in the field of synthetic biology thanks to artificial intelligence. With this AI, they were able to outpace
