ProtGPT3-1.3M-dpo is the DPO-aligned version of ProtGPT3-1.3B. It is part of the ProtGPT3 family, an open-source suite of promptable and aligned protein language models for protein design.

ProtGPT3-1.3M-dpo was further aligned with Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) to improve generation quality. The alignment procedure shifts the model toward protein sequences with higher predicted structural confidence and reduced low-complexity content, while preserving sequence diversity. For protein generation, each model -dpo version is recommended over the base model.

The model should not be used as the sole basis for experimental, clinical, environmental, or safety-critical decisions. Generated sequences require downstream computational and experimental validation. The model is not guaranteed to generate functional, soluble, safe, synthesizable, or experimentally successful proteins.

The model should not be used for irresponsible or harmful biological design applications.

ProtGPT3-1.3B-dpo learns from public protein sequence datasets and may reproduce biases present in those datasets. Although DPO alignment reduces low-complexity generations and improves generation quality according to the alignment objectives (pLDDT and reduction of lcr, as a binary objective, see main manuscript), generated sequences may still be nonfunctional, unstable, insoluble, repetitive, biologically implausible, or unsuitable for a user’s intended application.

The DPO alignment objective uses predicted structural confidence and low-complexity filtering as proxy objectives. These proxies do not guarantee biological function, experimental success, safety, solubility, or manufacturability.

As with other generative protein models, ProtGPT3-1.3B-dpo may present dual-use risks if applied irresponsibly.
