EvolutionaryScale is an AI research lab dedicated to advancing the life sciences through artificial intelligence. Founded by former Meta researchers, the company focuses on developing large-scale AI models to understand and create novel proteins, aiming to revolutionize fields such as drug discovery and bioengineering.

In June 2024, EvolutionaryScale introduced ESM3, a groundbreaking AI model capable of generating new proteins. Notably, ESM3 designed a novel Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) variant, termed esmGFP, which would have taken nature 500 million years to evolve. This achievement underscores the model's potential to accelerate scientific research and innovation.
