IntelliFold: A Controllable Foundation Model for General and Specialized Biomolecular Structure Prediction.

⚡ IntelliFold Server • 📄 IntelliFold 2 Release Note • 📄 IntelliFold Technical Report

🎉 New Model Release

2026-02-07: We are excited to present [IntelliFold 2]. This version represents a major architectural update and is one of the first open-source models to outperform AlphaFold3 on Foldbench.

📊 Benchmarking

To comprehensively evaluate the performance of IntelliFold 2, we conducted a rigorous evaluation on FoldBench. We compared IntelliFold against several leading methods, including Boltz-1,2, Chai-1, Protenix and Alphafold3.

For more details on the benchmarking process and results, please refer to our release note IntelliFold 2 Release Note and IntelliFold Technical Report.

🚀 Quick Start

To quickly get started with IntelliFold, you can use the following commands:

bash

# Install IntelliFold from PyPI
pip install intellifold
# Run inference with an example YAML file
intellifold predict ./examples/5S8I_A.yaml --out_dir ./output

⚙️ Installation

To more complete installation instructions and usage, please refer to the Installation Guide.

🔍 Inference

Prepare Input File: Create a YAML file with your sequences following our input format specification
Run Prediction:

intellifold predict your_input.yaml --out_dir ./results

IntelliFold v2-Flash will be used by default, you can also use IntelliFold v2 by specifying the model name:

intellifold predict your_input.yaml --out_dir ./results --model v2
Check Results: Find predicted structures and confidence scores in the output directory, you can also check the section of output format in output documentation.
Optional Optimization: Enable custom kernels for faster inference and reduced memory usage

For comprehensive usage instructions and examples, refer to the Usage Guide.

🌐 IntelliFold Server

We highly recommend using the IntelliFold Server for the most accurate, complete, and convenient biomolecular structure predictions. It requires no installation and provides an intuitive web interface to submit your sequences and visualize results directly in your browser. The server runs the full, optimized, latest IntelliFold implementation for optimal performance.

🔗 Acknowledgements

The implementation of fast layernorm operators is inspired by OneFlow and FastFold, following Protenix's usage.
Many components in intellifold/openfold/ are adapted from OpenFold, with substantial modifications and improvements by our team (except for the LayerNorm part).
This repository, the implementation of Inference Data Pipeline(Data/Feature Processing and MSA generation tasks) referred to Boltz-1, and modify some codes to adapt to the input of our model.
