Except its not, because they gave it away without any kind of commercialization. Its possible to give something away for free in some context and still have it be a product (Stable Diffusion is doing quite a bit of that, though its very unclear if they’ll be able to do it sustainably), but AlphaFold doesn’t seem to be an example. It seems to be an example of something cool they did that they had no desire to make into a product. Which is great! But isn’t the same as executing on product in a space.
