Of late, AI models are really flexing their muscles.

We have recently seen how ChatGPT has become a poster child for platforms that comprehend human languages.

Now a team of researchers has tested a language model to create amino acid sequences, showcasing abilities to replicate human biology and evolution.

The result was achieved by training the model to learn the composition of proteins.
