    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Provides deep learning models for predicting biomolecular interactions and binding affinities with high accuracy and speed.
    • Delivers near physics-based free-energy perturbation accuracy while running 1000x faster, enabling practical early-stage drug discovery.
    • Use for screening potential drug candidates by predicting binding probabilities to identify promising molecular binders.
    • Use for optimizing lead compounds by accurately estimating binding affinity changes from small molecular modifications.
    • Use for academic or commercial research requiring open-source, state-of-the-art biomolecular interaction modeling and prediction.

    From the README

    Boltz is a family of models for biomolecular interaction prediction. Boltz-1 was the first fully open source model to approach AlphaFold3 accuracy. Our latest work Boltz-2 is a new biomolecular foundation model that goes beyond AlphaFold3 and Boltz-1 by jointly modeling complex structures and binding affinities, a critical component towards accurate molecular design. Boltz-2 is the first deep learning model to approach the accuracy of physics-based free-energy perturbation (FEP) methods, while running 1000x faster — making accurate in silico screening practical for early-stage drug discovery.

    All the code and weights are provided under MIT license, making them freely available for both academic and commercial uses. For more information about the model, see the Boltz-1 and Boltz-2 technical reports. To discuss updates, tools and applications join our Slack channel.

    Note: we recommend installing boltz in a fresh python environment

    or directly from GitHub for daily updates:

    If you are installing on CPU-only or non-CUDA GPus hardware, remove [cuda] from the above commands. Note that the CPU version is significantly slower than the GPU version.
