The breakthrough of AlphaFold2 in 2020 fundamentally changed the field, achieving near-experimental accuracy in the CASP14 competition. Since then, a vibrant ecosystem of open-source alternatives has emerged, making protein structure prediction accessible to research labs without access to AlphaFold&rsquo;s proprietary infrastructure.</p>
