Academic, Industry Leaders Form OpenFold AI Research Consortium to Develop Open Source Software Tools To Understand Biological Systems and Discover New Medicines | Business Wire

"A set of leading academic and industry partners are announcing the formation of OpenFold, a non-profit artificial intelligence (AI) research consortium of organizations whose goal is to develop free and open source software tools for biology and drug discovery. OpenFold is a project of the Open Molecular Software Foundation (OMSF), a non-profit organization advancing molecular sciences by building communities for open source research software development.... The first major research area for the consortium is to create state-of-the-art AI-based protein modeling tools which can predict molecular structures with atomic accuracy. The OpenFold consortium is modeled after pre-competitive technology industry open source consortia such as Linux and OpenAI...."
