At [[Theoretical_models#2020:_CASP_14|CASP14]], AlphaFold2 was far better able, among over 100 competing groups, to predict structures, including sidechain positions, so close to the subsequently revealed X-ray crystallographic structures as to differ by little more than the differences between two independently-determined X-ray structures of the same molecule. It did this for about two-thirds of the targets in the competition.
