I'm assuming you can't run this on any consumer computer?

Nevermind

> The simplest way to run AlphaFold is using the provided Docker script. This was tested on Google Cloud with a machine using the nvidia-gpu-cloud-image with 12 vCPUs, 85 GB of RAM, a 100 GB boot disk, the databases on an additional 3 TB disk, and an A100 GPU.

That’s… way closer to consumer than I expected

Except for (DGX) A100.

For inference...

Still accessible, but expensive to run at scale. And training even worse.

2.2TB data

Nah, 4TB disk drives are not that expensive.

Amazing. That's not a lot of libraries of congresses at all.

which is basically nothing. They could put it in a cloud bucket and you could copy it to another bucket in minutes.
