Argonne National Laboratory researchers have developed MProt-DPO, an AI-driven computing framework for accelerating protein design. It combines various data sources and uses large language models and supercomputers to process billions of parameters, achieving over one exaflop of performance. The framework incorporates a Direct Preference Optimization algorithm to improve design reliability and is being tested on protein design challenges, with plans for laboratory validation.
