Sure, but AlphaFold is still probably the most impactful and positive thing to have come out of "Deep Learning" so far.




Didn’t the transformer model come from AlphaFold? I feel like we wouldn’t have had the LLMs we use today if it wasn’t for AlphaFold.

The Transformer was invented at Google, but by a different team. AFAIK the original AlphaFold didn't use a transformer, but AlphaFold 2.0 and 3.0 do.
