• The release maps complexes and interacting proteins across >2,800 viruses.
• Predictions added to the AlphaFold Database Pandemic Preparedness Portal.
• Collaboration includes NVIDIA, EMBL‑EBI and multiple university partners.
• Predictions inferred using AlphaFold2 optimized with NVIDIA BioNeMo Inference Runtime.
• NVIDIA released the BioNeMo Structure Prediction Pipeline for independent use.
• Aim: enable rapid structure prediction from raw sequences for researchers.
