Inference-Time Projection for Physically Valid Biomolecular Diffusion Models
Quick summary
arXiv:2610.07037v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AlphaFold 3-style cofolding models predict biomolecular complexes with high structural accuracy, yet a large fraction of their outputs are physically invalid: chains overlap at interfaces, ligand bond lengths and angles are distorted, rings are non-planar, and stereocentres are inverted. Current approaches either steer the sampler with physics-informed potentials, which multiplies sampling cost and memory overhead making inference impossible on large complexes, or finetune the model, costing time and tying the fix to one architecture. We observe

Why it matters
This model development creates a new option for users and a new testing obligation for developers. A fixed evaluation set comparing quality, cost and failure behavior is more useful than launch claims.
