This model was finetuned on concatenated pairs of interacting proteins in much the same way as PepMLM. It is meant to generate interaction partners for proteins using the masked language modeling capabilities of ESM-2. The model is not well tested, so use with caution.

This set of model weights was released with the GitHub-compatible esm package format. The models here are kept for backwards compatibility, but we recommend you use the HuggingFace-compatible model weights at biohub/ESMC-6B (or biohub/ESMC-300M / biohub/ESMC-600M) instead.

This repository contains the model presented in D3LM: A Discrete DNA Diffusion Language Model for Bidirectional DNA Understanding and Generation.

A compact protein language model distilled from ProtGPT2 using complementary-regularizer distillation---a method that combines uncertainty-aware position weighting with calibration-aware label smoothing to achieve 54% better perplexity than standard knowledge distillation at 9.4x compression.
