Google DeepMind is reportedly dismantling the AlphaFold team
The Financial Times reports that Google DeepMind is breaking up the dedicated AlphaFold team, signaling a major internal reorganization around one of its best-known research efforts.
The story is about company structure rather than a new model release, but it matters because AlphaFold became a flagship example of DeepMind’s scientific impact and brand identity.
