  title: EvolutionaryScale Forge ESM3 Embeddings MSA API
  description: 'Hosted inference API for the ESM3 multimodal protein language model from EvolutionaryScale. ESM3 reasons jointly across sequence, structure, and function tracks. The Forge API exposes generate, batch_generate, encode, decode, forward_and_sample, and logits operations across small (1.4B), medium (7B), and large (98B) parameter checkpoints. All requests authenticate with a Forge API token obtained from forge.evolutionaryscale.ai. This OpenAPI is reconstructed from the open-source `esm` Python SDK (Biohub/esm) which is the canonical client for the Forge service.
