Schematic of the documented input, computation and output; not an executable configuration.
Amino-acid tokens pass through a pretrained transformer. Hidden states can be retained for each residue or pooled for a whole protein; downstream tasks need an explicit scoring rule or predictor. ESMFold adds a structure-prediction system and is a separate pipeline.
