OpenFold3 (OpenBind-0) remote tool#

TOU validation and deployment status (2026-08-16)#

OpenFold3 0.5.0 with the OpenBind-0 parameters, under the optimization kit’s fast mode, ran on the NVIDIA GB10 (aarch64, cc 12.1, driver 580.173.02) with pair_transition ablated through the kit’s own MODEL_OPT_LEVERS_OFF door, the kit’s post_release gate forced on every item, and the data loader forced to 0 workers. All five tu remote setup steps green. Verified on the whole acceptance sequence, not a single smoke: an ascending 100/200/400-residue ladder (3/3), a mixed-shape sequence 100/100/200/100 (4/4), FOUR CONSECUTIVE IDENTICAL REQUESTS (4/4), and three consecutive 800-residue requests (3/3) – five mmCIF models every time. TWO independent second-request defects had to be fixed first, one in the kit’s shared core and one in upstream 0.5.0 itself, and only one of them was findable by repeating a shape. Peak reserved 2.20 GiB at 35 residues rising to 9.97 GiB at 800, which is the declared budget and the ceiling the tool enforces. Wall times were taken with one to three other providers’ workers on the card and are not measurements; residency returns 1.25x at 35 residues and 1.13x at the 800-residue budget row against a fresh process per request, because ~30 s of each request is Lightning and featurisation rather than the model. Public publication, cross-user isolation, concurrency, recovery and biological accuracy are untested; keep this deployment private.

  • Operation: openfold3_ob0_fold

  • Start: python -m tooluniverse.remote.openfold3_ob0.openfold3_ob0_tool

  • Endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:8052/mcp

  • Provider configuration: this provider is on the remote-tool standard, so the model runs in its own environment built from a pinned lock, and the weights are declared with a size and a sha256 and verified before the worker starts. Keep provider data, weights, caches and credentials outside Git. Use one worker: the resident worker serves one request at a time by design, and a second in-flight request queues on its lock rather than doubling peak VRAM. The measured VRAM budget is 9.97 GiB; read the envelope it was measured at in the manifest before co-tenanting anything else on the card, because a larger request exceeds it.

  • TOU check: tu doctor --forward http://127.0.0.1:8052/mcp --json

  • Private relay: tu serve --share --forward http://127.0.0.1:8052/mcp --name validation-openfold3-ob0 --workers 1

Non-loopback binding requires TOOLUNIVERSE_API_TOKEN; otherwise keep the server on loopback. The relay requires TOOLUNIVERSE_SERVICE_KEY. Public publication and independent-caller testing were not run.

New-user check: python scripts/remote_validation/setup_skill_preflight.py --implementation openfold3_ob0. Add --check-provider-env before launch, --live after launch, and --check-connect-prereqs before sharing. Live preflight checks exact MCP discovery only; it does not run or validate a model.

The authenticated 2026-08-16 Platform matrix found all 30 private owner relays online and all 41 operations discoverable. It imported each implementation as unpublished owner draft(s), configured a 120-second timeout, and invoked it through /expert-sessions/{id}/test. This implementation was added after that matrix and was not part of it, so none of that evidence covers it: it has not been exercised through the Platform at all, and everything above was measured locally, on one card, through the loopback endpoint. Public publication, independent-caller authorization/isolation, broad saturation and persistent supervision are unvalidated here.

Authorize once, then share with one short command#

Log in once per machine, and again after key rotation:

tu remote login

tu remote login requests a short-lived device code, opens the TU Platform approval page and polls until the signed-in user approves; no key is copied or pasted, and the CLI never displays the computer-only key it stores in a local 0600 file. On a headless machine add --no-browser. Then each private share is one command:

tu remote share openfold3_ob0

Override the reviewed name and worker count only when needed:

tu remote share openfold3_ob0 --name my-openfold3-ob0-remote --workers 1

In an interactive terminal, sharing starts the same browser flow when the key is missing, expired, or revoked. A malformed or revoked explicit TOOLUNIVERSE_SERVICE_KEY fails fast rather than being silently replaced; unset or correct it and run tu remote login again. Non-interactive jobs also fail fast. tu remote logout removes only the local copy; tu remote logout --revoke revokes the computer-only platform connection first and leaves the server record offline for owner inspection.

See the complete setup and verification guide. The skill is the whole guide for this provider – how to build the two environments, what tu remote setup’s five steps each prove, every refusal name with its fix, and the measured numbers a host schedules on. This file carries the deployment contract and deliberately does not restate it, because two copies of a procedure drift and only one of them gets corrected.

Overview#

OpenFold3 0.5.0 (OpenBind-0) all-atom structure prediction from a query of chains

Weights and kit are pinned: src/tooluniverse/remote/openfold3_ob0/provider.toml declares the upstream kit by commit, the environment by lock file, and every weight file with its byte count and digest. Nothing is fetched at request time. The measured peak VRAM for this host is written to ~/.cache/tooluniverse/measured/openfold3_ob0.json, and that per-host file – not the number in the manifest – is what a scheduler should read.
