The study demonstrates that a simple, sequence-only approach using 330 interpretable descriptors and the TabPFN tabular foundation model can outperform complex multimodal deep learning methods for multi-label antimicrobial peptide activity prediction. On the ESCAPE benchmark (82,359 peptides, five labels), a label‑powerset TabPFN model achieved a mean average precision of 77.8%, surpassing the previous best of 72.1%. The approach also shows that predicted structure is unnecessary, that a small set of global physicochemical scalars can recover most performance, and that modeling label dependence benefits rare activities and informs assay prioritization.
