EvolutionaryScale
EvolutionaryScale is a New York-based biology foundation model lab spun out of Meta AI's ESM team that develops AI to deepen scientific understanding of biology. Its flagship ESM3 model is a multimodal generative protein language model that reasons jointly across sequence, structure, and function, scaling to 98B parameters trained on 771B tokens from 2.78B natural proteins. The companion ESM Cambrian (ESM C) family provides protein representation learning at 300M–6B parameters as a performant ESM2 replacement. Models are accessible via the hosted Forge inference API (forge.evolutionaryscale.ai), an open-source Python SDK (`pip install esm`), open weights on Hugging Face, and AWS Marketplace (SageMaker, NVIDIA BioNeMo and NIM). EvolutionaryScale was integrated into the Biohub organization in 2025; the ESM SDK now lives at github.com/Biohub/esm.
