Licence restrictions for using Alphafold3 on Jean Zay

⚠ INFORMATION
This page was translated by an AI (LLM) with a cursory human check and is awaiting full review.

Deepmind has open-sourced Alphafold 3 and made it available on GitHub. However, the model weights are subject to a licence that makes it impossible to provide them to all IDRIS users.

https://github.com/google-deepmind/alphafold3/blob/main/WEIGHTS_TERMS_OF_USE.md

Indeed, a number of people using IDRIS resources are not part of the academic world.

We will contact Deepmind to see if it is possible in our situation to share the weights. While waiting for a response, we will apply the following procedure:

• IDRIS will install the code so that it is accessible to all users.
• Each person wishing to use Alphafold 3 must obtain authorisation from Deepmind via the following form https://forms.gle/svvpY4u2jsHEwWYS6. Please note that the response may take up to 2 weeks.
• The weights must be installed locally on the account of each person wishing to use Alphafold 3.

We have requested the model weights to perform internal tests.

Once these tests are completed, we will publish documentation on the website with all the steps to run Alphafold 3.
