AlphaFold3 Is No Longer the Top Model
anshulkundaje · x · 2026-07-15
The author argues that AlphaFold3 is no longer the best model.\n\nOver the past year, numerous companies have claimed their new models match or surpass AF3 on crucial structure prediction tasks. However, under independent verification, many failed to achieve the benchmark numbers they initially claimed, leading the author to view recent results from several teams with caution.\n\nThe post specifically mentions being initially skeptical of results published by teams behind ESMFold2, Protenix-v2, and OpenDDE, as they released benchmarks showing superiority over AF3 within a matter of weeks of each other.
