Google DeepMind AlphaFold 3 Role Record

Google DeepMind describes itself as Google's AI research organization, bringing the former DeepMind and Google Brain teams together. Its current about page identifies Demis Hassabis as co-founder and CEO and presents AlphaFold as part of its research history.

The AlphaFold 3 paper lists authors from Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs. The May 2024 launch record describes the model as developed by the two organizations. Google DeepMind also operated the launch-era AlphaFold Server route and now provides routes to current AlphaFold tools, database access, and academic model code and weights.

This role record should not become a general corporate history. It exists to identify the organization responsible for research, launch communication, access, and current AlphaFold routes.

Mission, scale, and impact language on the company's own pages remains attributed. Google DeepMind's participation does not independently prove a benchmark, clinical result, drug-discovery outcome, or responsible deployment.
