​​DeepMind significally (+100%) improved protein folding modelling
Why is this important: protein folding = protein structure = protein function = how protein works in the living speciment and what it does.
What this means: better vaccines, better meds, more curable diseases and more calamities easen by the medications or better understanding.
Dataset: ~170000 available protein structures from PDB
Hardware: 128 TPUv3 cores (roughly equivalent to ~100-200 GPUs)
