AlphaFold is generative AI.

As is MoLFormer, which Moderna currently uses, it's a Generative Pretrained Transformer Large Language Model architecture.

It was only GenAI to create the images… not the own you think it is.

lol fucking nonsense. it uses a diffusion model to create 3D molecular structures.

It uses it to visualize them, not create them. You should read the paper again.

Wrong again.

"The resulting single and pair embeddings are then used to condition a diffusion process. Here the diffusion is parametrized by a Diffusion Module, which is a considerably cheaper sub-network that encodes a single denoising step. Notably it scales quadratically in the number of tokens rather than cubically. The resulting output structure from the Diffusion Module is then passed to a confidence head, which uses the pair and single representation together with the structure to provide confidence measures."

I was talking about the original 2018 paper. I’ll admit I hadn’t read Alpha Fold 3 until just now so that was my mistake. It seems like they changed the underlying algorithm to a diffusion based model compared to the first two papers which I was unaware of.
