Awesome. I wonder if anyone would use this method to find good algorithms for NP Hard problems. It would be amazing if we can find good algorithms this way.

Heuristic approaches like alphafold seem better for that class of problems. This model creates provable solutions, which would be amazing for NP, but not likely.

Agree that some intuition will probably be required for NP-Hard problems to encode knowledge that we've learned in other fields. A wholly probabilistic model would be harder.
