The paper proposes a new framework called ensemble-conditioned guidance that reframes molecular design as an optimisation over both the modes and properties of a molecule’s conformational ensemble. It allows 3D generative models to be conditioned simultaneously on multiple axes—such as shapes, pharmacophore profiles, or protein pockets—by adaptively combining vector fields from each condition. The authors introduce adaptive symmetry learning for composable conditions across reference frames, extend the framework to support flexible-size generation, and demonstrate its effectiveness on new benchmarks and practical drug‑discovery tasks, showing improved outcomes when conditioning on additional states compared to single‑state approaches.

Mol-JEPA is a scalable multimodal framework that learns molecular world models by using modality masking instead of suboptimal perturbations. It incorporates diverse data such as molecular structures, cellular phenotypes, binding affinities, ADMET profiles, quantum chemistry simulations, and other drug‑discovery information. Benchmarks show that the representations it learns perform strongly, highlighting the benefit of embedding biochemical context via latent‑space prediction.
