How is predicting protein folding GenAI? Seems like traditional machine learning?

I suppose I'm thinking about transformer architecture rather than strictly GenAI, but the computer science aspects of protein folding and GenAI seem like they overlap significantly.

  • People are using these models to generate candidate molecules for specific purposes. According to some estimates I've seen, their hit rate is about 50% instead of 25-33%, and doesn't take two years.
