The quest for understanding the complex world of proteins has just taken a significant leap forward with the introduction of OpenFold3, an open-source artificial intelligence (AI) model designed to predict the 3D structures of proteins. This development is crucial because proteins are the building blocks of life, and their structures determine their functions, which in turn affect virtually every aspect of biology and medicine. Developed by the OpenFold Consortium, a non-profit collaboration of academic and private research groups, OpenFold3 uses amino acid sequences to map the 3D structures of proteins and model their interactions with other molecules, such as drugs or DNA. This capability is not just a novelty; it has profound implications for drug discovery, disease research, and our overall understanding of biological processes. ...

As the AI landscape continues to evolve, NVIDIA is furthering its commitment to open-source technologies, unveiling new models for language, robotics, and biology. This move reflects broader industry trends towards democratizing access to AI and fostering innovation. By contributing to the open ecosystem, NVIDIA aims to empower developers worldwide and drive economic growth through efficient reasoning, high-fidelity world generation, and interactive physical AI systems. The new open models, data, and tools are part of the NVIDIA Nemotron family for AI reasoning, NVIDIA Cosmos platform for physical AI, NVIDIA Isaac GR00T for robotics, and NVIDIA Clara for biomedical AI. These technologies will be made available through Hugging Face, a leading platform for AI model sharing and collaboration. As a top contributor to Hugging Face, NVIDIA has already made over 650 open models and 250 open datasets available, expanding access to cutting-edge AI resources for the global developer community. ...
