Could it be that AlphaFold 2 was open sourced in response to this?

it's very likely the baker submission to science forced DM's hand.

> With RoseTTAFold, a protein structure can be computed in as little as ten minutes on a single gaming computer.

I guess its a little less accurate but the quick compute time makes as much difference too. E.g. research students can have multiple less costly mistakes before achieving what they want with the software.

That is the way, unlike AlphaFold, to publish everything in open source. Kudos to the research team!
