Google DeepMind offers up to 200 European scientists access to AlphaFold 3 and four other frontier models
Google DeepMind and Google Cloud will give up to 200 leading European researchers direct access to five frontier science models, AlphaFold 3 among them, plus $3 million in compute credits. Part of the offer runs through the EU's RAISE initiative, which aims to close the compute gap European scientists sometimes face.
- The five models are AlphaFold 3, WeatherNext, AlphaGenome, AlphaEvolve and AlphaEarth Foundations.
- AlphaFold 3 predicts the structure of proteins and other molecules.
- The announcement does not say how researchers will be chosen, when access starts or how the credits will be split.
- The announcement was published on October 14, 2026, under the name of Google Cloud's VP for UK, Ireland and Sub-Saharan Africa.
