Folding@Home January TeAm record run 2026

[StefanR5R]

Duration: 01/01 - 02/01 (12am CST = 06:00 UTC)

How to participate: Install the Folding@Home client and configure it to team 198 (Team AnandTech). Also, having a passkey is preferable, as this gets you much more points for the same amount of work compared to anonymous folding without passkey.

Our previous records, previously tracked by Endgame124:
daily peak — 1,666,901,932 points on 1/25/2024
week peak — 7,654,446,4125 points in the week of 1/21/2024
monthly peak — 26,898,347,599 points in January 2024
active users, daily peak — 1481 on 4/19/2020
active users, peak month — 83 in January 2024 (as of 1/23)

Total team points of the 13th…17th Annual Folding@Home Holiday Races and of the 2024 and 2025 record runs:
January 2025 — 26,116,935,661
January 2024 — 26,898,347,599
1/1 2023 - 1/21 2023 — 8,645,799,517
December 2021 — 9,812,355,444
December 2020 — 8,022,546,283
December 2019 — 3,062,473,110
December 2018 — 1,864,317,276

Earlier today I fetched the 01/01 12am CST starting points from apps.foldingathome.org's files. I'll track progress based on these data exports. Ideally this will give the same figures as folding.extremeoverclocking.com.

The final week of the record run overlaps with the bigadv eol challenge:
01/24 - 01/31 (10am PST = 18:00 UTC) 7th Annual Folding Challenge hosted by [H]ard|OCP (7 days) — ATF thread
Your F@H credit will count in both events automatically if you fold for team 198.

 

[Pokey]

Ok, firing mine up, slowly, but still pitching in.

 

[StefanR5R]

Slowly? That's relative, I guess. :-)

We are off to a good start:



703 M were done on January 1, that's already 40% of the result of the whole week 52, 2025 (during which many of us had their GPUs on PrimeGrid Genefer).

Folding@Home overall position - 14
TeAm total for 1/1 - 1/2 (12am CST) - 703,087,831

Going forward, I am thinking I will post progress reports every half week or so.

Glad to see myself in the team's top ten of the day (my F@H alias is xii5ku) after a long absence of mine from Folding@Home. Also good to see that my stats are in line with EOC's; I spot-checked a few individual credits.

 

[Markfw]

I am now somewhere over 100 mil ppd. ( I think) and I have a 5070TI I am dying to get hooked up and see how it does. Below is the bottom of the F@H fahcontrol, but you can't believe the number, its at least 20% too high

PS: I'll continue to post the race stats both here and at The FPS Review forum. We don't know when Future takes the AnandTech Forum down, can happen sooner or later but likely without warning and at a semi-random time when we least expect it.

 

[StefanR5R]

If we keep up the pace which we achieved on Friday and Saturday, we shall beat our previous record month of 01/2024 (26,898,347,599). But this also depends a bit on the workunit batches which foldingathome.org is issuing, considering that points-per-day on a given hardware aren't quite uniform between workunits.

Our prior record of number of active members will be a tough one to beat though (83 in our 01/2024 record run, let alone 1481 during the pandemic). So if anybody out there is undecided to join in on this one: Even if you contribute just a few or even just one workunit this month, that would push the metric of active members. IOW the more the merrier. :-) And who knows, maybe your simulation result happens to be of the kind that brings a tear of joy to a scientist's eye.

A quick update. I wanted to post this earlier today but was interrupted by work.

4 _____1,069,111,969 ______ 45 _________ 4

If we can maintain an average of ~900 M/day during the whole month, we shall outdo our previous best month by points.

We all might want to spend the next two weeks searching our attics and crawl spaces for spare GPUs. Because on January 24, [H]ard|OCP's Bigadv EOL Challenge will happen along with the final lap of our record run. :-)

As for aiming for a new monthly record, which will require ~900 M/day on average: So far so good…

PS: I'll continue to post the race stats both here and at The FPS Review forum. We don't know when Future takes the AnandTech Forum down, can happen sooner or later but likely without warning and at a semi-random time when we least expect it.

Should we have a sticky thread here saying to go there when the forum closes?
But would we be allowed?

Thanks for the stats anyhow
