Today, we’re announcing the first major discovery made by our AI Scientist with the lab in the loop: a promising new treatment for dry AMD, a major cause of blindness. Our agents generated the hypotheses, designed the experiments, analyzed the data, iterated, even made figures…
Exciting to see EvE Bio's ever-expanding pharmome mapping dataset (data.evebio.org) cited as a source of training/test data for @FutureHouseSF's ether0 LLM, a new scientific reasoning model for chemistry. Their preprint is here: storage.googleapis.com/aviary-public/…
An AI-ready lab notebook for life science doesn't need to be complex or expensive. At @Pioneer__Labs, we use a lab management system built entirely with generic software tools. It's simple, cheap, and easy to modify. See our now how-to post ⬇️
Nudge has extraordinary talent density and is moving super fast. Brain interfaces are fast becoming a reality.
Half the world will experience a brain disorder in their lifetime. At @nudge, we're building brain interfaces that are safe, precise, and non-invasive to solve that problem. We've raised a $100M Series A led by @ThriveCapital and Greenoaks to go faster. We're hiring. Join us.
Super exciting.
1/4 🚀 Announcing the 2025 Protein Engineering Tournament. This year’s challenge: design PETase enzymes, which degrade the type of plastic in bottles. Can AI-guided protein design help solve the climate crisis? Let’s find out! ⬇️ #AIforBiology #ClimateTech #ProteinEngineering…

This is the worst day ever to launch our reasoning model. We're just gonna announce it fresh next week. Everyone please act surprised.
Voltage Park is one of the absolute best compute providers on the market today, and is our provider of choice. Well-run hardware, great prices, and extremely responsive support whenever we have issues. Cannot recommend them highly enough.
The team at FutureHouse just released its scientific reasoning model, ether0 and found with molecular data, it has a lot of wins and a few failures to work out ... BUT it proves that with the right data, language models = superhuman capabilities on scientific tasks. Related: FH…
At FutureHouse, we’ve noticed scientific agents are good at applying average intelligence across tasks. They always seem to make the obvious choices, which is good, but discovery sometimes requires more intuition and insight than average. We’ve made the first step today towards…
Huge milestone. I have been very impressed with Intology. Ron and Andy and team are doing amazing work.
The 1st fully AI-generated scientific discovery to pass the highest level of peer review – the main track of an A* conference (ACL 2025). Zochi, the 1st PhD-level agent. Beta open.
This is awesome! Great work Kexin and Jure and team. Really impressive.
📢 Introducing Biomni - the first general-purpose biomedical AI agent. Biomni is built on the first unified environment for biomedical agent with 150 tools, 59 databases, and 106 software packages and a generalist agent design with retrieval, planning, and code as action. This…
How do posts spread on X? Here's data from our three launches this month: FutureHouse Platform; Finch; and Robin. Impressions over time for ~a week after posting. Robin hit subnetworks in Spain and then in Japan late last week, accounting for some portion of the late bumps.
Of all startups in San Francisco, I think we have the best moat…
