AlphaFold 3 predicts the structure and interactions of all of life’s molecules
Our new AI model AlphaFold 3 can predict the structure and interactions of all life’s molecules with unprecedented accuracy.
Even knowing where things are headed, it's still pretty crazy to see it unfolding (pun intended).
This part in particular is nuts:
After processing the inputs, AlphaFold 3 assembles its predictions using a diffusion network, akin to those found in AI image generators. The diffusion process starts with a cloud of atoms, and over many steps converges on its final, most accurate molecular structure.
AlphaFold 3’s predictions of molecular interactions surpass the accuracy of all existing systems. As a single model that computes entire molecular complexes in a holistic way, it’s uniquely able to unify scientific insights.
Diffusion model for atoms instead of pixels wasn't even on my 2024 bingo card.
