Announcing Ambient Protein Diffusion, a state-of-the-art 17M-params generative model for protein structures. Diversity improves by 91% and designability by 26% over previous 200M SOTA model for long proteins. The trick? Treat low pLDDT AlphaFold predictions as low-quality data

I'm excited to announce what we have been working on for months. Announcing OpenThinker3, the strongest 7B reasoning model with open data. Also more than 1000 experiments on what works and what doesn't for post-training data curation.

RRyan Marten@ryanmart3n · Jun 5

Announcing OpenThinker3-7B, the new SOTA open-data 7B reasoning model: improving over DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B by 33% on average over code, science, and math evals. We also release our dataset, OpenThoughts3-1.2M, which is the best open reasoning dataset across all data…
