NoteThe source confirms the basic facts: CASP14 did occur in late 2020 (Nov-Dec), involved ~100 groups worldwide, and had 90 modeling targets. However, the source does NOT provide the specific median GDT score of ~92.4 claimed, nor does it mention AlphaFold 2 by name or attribute leadership to John Jumper. The source lists John Moult as CASP chair and founder, not John Jumper. The claim attributes the achievement to 'Google DeepMind' and 'led by John Jumper,' but the source does not confirm these attributions—it only confirms the competition itself occurred. The characterization of 'solving the protein folding problem' is not addressed in this source text. The specific accuracy metric (GDT ~92.4) cannot be verified from the provided excerpt.
