"Normally we’d wait to publish this work until it had been peer-reviewed for an academic journal. However, given the potential seriousness and time-sensitivity of the situation, we’re releasing the predicted structures as we have them now, under an open license so that anyone can make use of them."
Kudos to Google for doing this. It is so much more effective to marshall a small number of extremely powerful cloud providers backed by very qualified and active techies, than a large number of weak providers (people using their home machines).

Not quite, Google are running their own code.
I agree that the wording could have been be better. "This" here referring to the link after the :, not the folding@home project.
I wonder how AlphaFold compares.
That's very newsworthy. Hope the prediction system is accurate enough to help.
