Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

setup scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Setup Guide

Help users get their environment ready to run protein design tools.

Quick checklist

Run through this checklist when a user encounters setup issues:

Step Check Fix
1. Modal CLI modal --version pip install modal
2. Modal auth modal token show modal setup
3. biomodals ls biomodals/modal_*.py git clone https://github.com/hgbrian/biomodals
4. Test cd biomodals && modal run modal_boltzgen.py --help See troubleshooting

Diagnosing issues

Error: "modal: command not found"

Cause: Modal CLI not installed.

Fix:

pip install modal

Then restart the terminal or run hash -r.

Error: "Permission denied" or "Unauthorized"

Cause: Modal not authenticated.

Fix:

modal setup

This opens a browser. Click "Authorize" to complete authentication.

Error: "No such file or directory: modal_boltzgen.py"

Cause: biomodals repository not cloned or not in correct directory.

Fix:

git clone https://github.com/hgbrian/biomodals
cd biomodals

Error: "uvx: command not found"

Cause: uvx is an optional wrapper from the uv package. It's not required.

Fix: Run modal directly (recommended):

modal run modal_boltzgen.py --help

Or install uv if you prefer using uvx:

pip install uv

Full setup steps

Step 1: Install Modal CLI

pip install modal

Verify: modal --version

Step 2: Authenticate Modal

modal setup

This opens a browser. Click "Authorize".

Verify: modal token show

Step 3: Clone biomodals

git clone https://github.com/hgbrian/biomodals
cd biomodals

Verify: ls modal_*.py should show files like modal_boltzgen.py

Step 4: Test the Setup

cd biomodals
modal run modal_boltzgen.py --help

Expected: Usage instructions appear showing --input-yaml, --protocol, --num-designs options.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
