Benchling Powers AI Model Access for Scientists With NVIDIA

San Francisco — October 13, 2025 — Benchling, the platform for scientific progress, today announced it is integrating NVIDIA NIM microservices into Benchling AI. This will give scientists direct access to GPU-optimized models, within the workflows where their data already lives.

Benchling recently launched Benchling AI, the first command center for scientific AI. It brings agents and models directly into scientists’ daily workflows, making AI accessible and actionable inside the platform they already use. To expand the set of leading models available, Benchling is adding support for the NVIDIA OpenFold2 NIM, a GPU-optimized model for protein structure prediction. NIM delivers pre-packaged microservices that make it easy to run powerful AI models across multiple modalities and domains at scale, including NVIDIA BioNeMo models. With this integration, scientists will be able to get faster, more reliable predictions without custom infrastructure, while benefiting from enterprise-grade performance, security, and scalability.

“We’re committed to putting AI in the hands of every scientist,” said Ashu Singhal, President and co-founder of Benchling. “By bringing NVIDIA BioNeMo and NIM microservices into Benchling, we can help scientists apply leading biomolecular models directly to their experimental data, without moving between disconnected tools or worrying about infrastructure. This is an important step toward unlocking faster discovery.”

Benchling users will be able to access OpenFold2 for protein structure prediction. Additional capabilities such as generative modeling and property prediction will be added over time.
