Why AlphaFold Didn't Solve Protein Folding — Pushmeet Kohli, Google DeepMind & Sal Candido, Biohub
Pushmeet KohliSal CandidoBrandon Anderson
AlphaFold 2 reproduced PDB-deposited structures, but ground state, dynamics, function, and design remain open, shifting the frontier toward richer biological context and raw cryo-EM data.Metagenomic sequences show useful scaling depends on statistical fit rather than volume, while calibrated pLDDT and clearer bottlenecks—not a 10x or 100x timetable—determine whether AI can safely accelerate drug development.
No Priors Ep. 120 | With Google DeepMind’s Pushmeet Kohli and Matej Balog
Sarah GuoPushmeet KohliMatej Balog
AlphaEvolve turns algorithm discovery into iterative code search: Gemini generates executable candidates, evaluators filter them, and evolutionary search preserves diverse solutions that can improve existing Google infrastructure or tackle long-standing scientific problems.The approach makes precise evaluation the key unlock and bottleneck, with math and computer science offering cheap scoring while biology needs simulators; a 23% training-infrastructure speedup suggests limited self-improvement, but whether gains accumulate remains open.
