Description

Do you plan to update ColabFold to use AlphaFold 2.3.0? It uses less memory running multimer predictions allowing larger structure predictions that would be very valuable for researchers.

Here are the AlphaFold 2.3.0 release notes

https://github.com/deepmind/alphafold/releases/tag/v2.3.0

I guess an update would require updating the Steinegger lab AlphaFold github fork

https://github.com/steineggerlab/alphafold

I post this issue at the ColabFold github because the Steinegger AlphaFold fork does not have issue tracking enabled.
