Did AlphaFold not use TPUs?

Yes https://github.com/google-deepmind/alphafold/issues/31#issue....

This article is garbage and makes many incorrect claims, and it is clearly AI-generated. E.g. the claim that "AlphaFold doesn't simulate physics. It recognizes patterns learned from 170,000+ known protein structures" couldn't be farther from the truth. Physical models are baked right into AlphaFold models and development at multiple steps, it is a highly unique architecture and approach.
