According to the AlphaFold Wikipedia article:

> As of 18 June 2021, according to DeepMind's CEO Demis Hassabis a full methods paper to describe AlphaFold 2 had been written up and was undergoing peer review prior to publication, which would be accompanied by open source code and "broad free access to AlphaFold for the scientific community"



which is basically admission that they will API it, not release the models... again.

The original version on github can only compute the specific systems in the paper.

I don't know why scientific publications keep doing PR work for them.


if cryptography is a weapon, isn't folding proteins also arguably a weapon?


Yes, but only because if cryptography is a weapon then everything is a weapon.
