platform basics
start in chat or curl without an account, within the bounded guest allowance. ask for what you want in natural language, then let Ivy choose and chain the tools. Accounts add saved sessions, higher quota, and the full catalog. For terminal and agent workflows, use the ivybloom CLI and its MCP server; the public docs cover the inputs, outputs, and workflow recipes.
we support a wide range of molecular and data formats:
protein structures:
• pdb, mmcif, cif — standard structure formats
• pdbqt — docking-ready structures
small molecules:
• sdf, mol, mol2 — 3d molecular structures
• smiles, inchi — chemical notation
• safe — sequential attachment-based fragment embedding
• xyz — atomic coordinates
sequences:
• fasta, fastq — sequence data
• genbank — annotated sequences
data:
• csv, json, xlsx — tabular data
• parquet — large datasets
diffraction:
• xrd patterns for crystallography tools
genomics:
• bam, vcf, bed — ngs and variant data
each tool indicates its specific format requirements in the interface.
the platform works best on modern browsers: chrome 120+, firefox 120+, safari 17+, or edge 120+. we recommend using chrome for optimal performance, especially for mol* 3d molecular visualizations. javascript must be enabled, and we suggest at least 8gb ram for large molecular datasets and complex visualizations.

• prepaid credit packs (no subscription) — all tools and 5 model families. buy a credit pack and spend it as you go — no subscription, no bill after the fact.
yearly billing costs less than twelve monthly payments — the current saving is shown on the yearly toggle at [/pricing](/pricing).
current dollar amounts and credit allocations live on [/pricing](/pricing).
yes! we provide dedicated support for academic users:
student tier (free):
• generous monthly research credits
• advanced workflow access (gpu folding, generative design, standard pipelines)
• verified with .edu email address, no payment required
academic institutions:
• team plans with academic pricing
• bulk licensing for research groups
• collaboration features for labs
non-profit research:
• special pricing available
• contact our academic team for custom arrangements
verification is automatic with institutional email addresses.
usage is measured by credits and concurrent jobs:
monthly credits:
each tier includes a monthly credit allowance, from 500 (seed) up to 15,000 (flourish), with team plans offering credits per seat. credit packs carry no monthly allowance: buy a credit pack and spend it as you go — no subscription, no bill after the fact.
concurrent job limits:
ranging from 3 concurrent jobs (seed) to unlimited (enterprise). higher tiers get more parallel capacity.
compute pricing:
credits scale with gpu tier — lighter workloads cost less, high-performance gpus cost more. see the pricing page for current rates.
credits are calculated based on gpu tier, duration, and workload type.
troubleshooting
step 1: check job logs
view the error message in your job details — most issues are explained there. in the cli, run ivybloom jobs status JOB_ID for details.
common issues:
• invalid input format — verify pdb/sdf/smiles syntax
• sequence too long — esmfold limit is ~1500 residues
• missing required fields — check tool documentation
• timeout — large jobs may need retry with smaller input
• credit limit — check remaining credits with ivybloom credits
step 2: retry
• fix identified issues and resubmit
• try with a smaller test input first
• check input file encoding (utf-8 recommended)
• use ivybloom doctor for cli diagnostics
step 3: contact support
if problems persist:
• include your job id
• describe what you expected vs. what happened
• attach input files if possible
support response times:
• seed: community forum
• grow/flourish: email support (24h)
• team: priority support (4h)
• enterprise: dedicated support (1h)
job speed depends on several factors:
input complexity:
• large proteins (>1000 amino acids) take longer
• complex molecular systems require more compute
• batch jobs scale with input count
queue position:
• peak hours may have longer queue times
• priority queue (grow+ tiers) gets faster scheduling
• enterprise tier gets highest priority (level 4)
optimization tips:
• break large jobs into smaller batches
• use the cli for batch processing: ivybloom batch submit jobs.json --parallel 5
• upgrade tier for higher concurrent job limits and priority queue
• monitor jobs in real-time: ivybloom jobs follow JOB_ID
contact support if performance issues persist — we can help diagnose bottlenecks.
check these common issues:
format validation:
• pdb — valid atom records, proper chain ids
• sdf/mol — correct bond orders, 3d coordinates
• smiles — valid syntax, no invalid characters
• safe — valid safe notation for fragment-based inputs
• fasta — proper headers, valid sequences
• csv — utf-8 encoding, correct delimiters
troubleshooting:
• try a different browser (chrome recommended)
• check file isn't corrupted (open locally first)
• ensure file extension matches content
• for large files, compress or split into batches
• use the cli for large batch uploads: ivybloom data upload FILE
contact support with file details if issues persist.

priority queue:
faster job scheduling is available from grow tier and above, with enterprise getting the highest priority.
licence & business model
the licence and the release: the platform is licensed FSL-1.1-Apache-2.0, and a public source release is planned; the repositories are not public yet. once released, researchers can inspect the implementation and use it for permitted work, while the license keeps competing-service resale restricted.
fsl-1.1-apache-2.0 licensing:
- functional source license: free for non-competing use, including internal research and teaching
- automatic apache 2.0 conversion: each release becomes Apache 2.0 two years after release
- enterprise licensing: regulated deployment and commercial features may require separate terms
what this means for you:
• researchers and academics: use the software for permitted research and teaching
• teams: review the license before incorporating the software into a commercial service
• contributors: report bugs through /help/support and send feature requests through /suggestions until the repositories open
planned for release:
• web application
• backend compute infrastructure
• ivybloom cli
• tool definitions and documentation
fsl-1.1-apache-2.0 protection: the functional source license prevents competitors from directly repackaging our platform while allowing free use for research and non-competing purposes. after two years, code converts to apache 2.0.
trade secrets: keep proprietary datasets, training methods, and competitive advantages closed. publish the platform infrastructure under fsl while keeping proprietary data assets closed.
licensing tiers:
- fsl core platform: free for non-competing use, converts to apache 2.0
- enterprise features: 21 cfr part 11, sso/saml, white-label under separate license
- custom agreements: tailored partnerships with pharma for specific needs
contributor agreements: contributor license agreements (clas) maintain legal protections while accepting community contributions.
enterprise features: proprietary capabilities (advanced scoring, enrichment, compliance) are available via enterprise licensing. self-hosters get sensible defaults for all core functionality.
transparency advantage: pharma companies prefer vendors with transparent, auditable technology. the source release is planned, not yet public; once released, it enables:
- due diligence: partners can audit codebase for security and compliance
- customization: ability to modify platform for specific therapeutic areas
- integration: easier integration with existing pharma workflows
- validation: community adoption provides third-party validation
partnership pipeline:
- academic research: builds credibility through scientific validation
- pilot programs: low-risk testing with startups and mid-size pharma
- enterprise deals: high-value partnerships with big pharma
regulatory compliance:
- transparent codebase simplifies fda/emea regulatory review
- community testing increases quality assurance
- open standards enable better interoperability
- academic validation provides scientific credibility
current status:
the platform is licensed fsl-1.1-apache-2.0, and a public source release is planned:
• the repositories are not public yet
• permitted research and teaching use is available under the license
• each release converts to apache 2.0 after 2 years
planned for release:
• web application
• backend compute infrastructure
• command-line interface
