Google DeepMind dissolves AlphaFold research group: Report
According to a Financial Times report, Google DeepMind has broken up the research unit responsible for AlphaFold, the AI platform that recently earned a Nobel Prize. This decision signals a change in strategy, with a focus now shifting toward Gemini-powered AI models. Most of the team members are being moved to work on Gemini and other AI science initiatives. AlphaFold is a specialized AI tool capable of determining the 3D shapes of proteins based on amino acid sequences in just minutes, a task that previously took years.
