FAQ
Is ColabFold free already?
Yes for DIY single jobs. CandleAI manages queue, GPU ops, and QC packaging so labs are not the SRE.
Is this medical advice?
No. Computational research tool only. Not a medical device. You validate experimentally.
How fast is a free run?
When the queue is idle and ops can fold on Spark, turnaround is typically same day. Prod may store jobs until the fold agent runs (honest scarcity on 1 GPU).
What engines are live?
ColabFold AF2 PREDICT. Everything else is Roadmap until labeled Live after a weekly smoke.
When do you invoice?
Deposit starts the Paid Pilot Pack queue. Balance invoice only after QC-F. Packages stay research-use; no clinical claims.
