DeepMind does it again - this time it wins a protein folding prediction competition by a massive amount.

A couple of notable points from the article:

On its first foray into the competition, AlphaFold topped a table of 98 entrants, predicting the most accurate structure for 25 out of 43 proteins, compared with three out of 43 for the second placed team in the same category.
