With so many opportunities for them to go after why did they copy Deepmind?

It’s not a copy. Completely different architectures. ESMfold uses a language model while AlphaFold2 does not. ESMfold can predict on a single sequence, and AlphFold2 works best when you give it multiple related sequence in a multiple sequence alignment. ESMfold is also way faster (though not as accurate than AlphaFold2)

Ok. I guess I meant to say why not focus on a new application?
