Yes, they have a probabilistic model, not an analytical solution.

OTOH I don't think they made up the "solved" label - the CASP benchmark had always considered reaching the AlphaFold level of predictive accuracy (within error tolerance of our ability to experimentally verify via X-ray crystallography etc) as "solving" the problem.

CASP is explicitly structure prediction. That's not the folding problem.
Yes, but in the AlphaFold documentary they did explicitly mention "solving" CASP as the target.
