BioMap's xTrimoPGLM, a 100-billion-parameter protein language model, both reads and writes protein sequences, its authors report in Nature Methods
Most protein language models were trained either to fill in sequences, which suits reading them, or to write them letter by letter, which suits making them, and the authors say that left them struggling to do both. This paper shows one model doing both, at a size the authors call unprecedented, and it is BioMap's main peer-reviewed model paper. The weights and the downstream datasets are public on Hugging Face.
