Research facilities for frontier models.

Every experimental scientist and engineer has a workspace: a lab, a workshop, or a bench. We believe models need one too.

We are building environments where models can execute the entire scientific research process and learn directly from reality.

Facility-0 is our first model-driven research facility. Software controls and monitors instruments from hydraulic presses to individual pipettes, giving models a physical workspace where they can carry out experiments, inspect measurements, and decide what to try next.

Facility-0

Workspaces across biology, chemistry, and materials science.

A physical harness for research

Once given a goal, models can explore inventory and read specs to design experiments as code. The code is converted into equipment control and instructions to people. Models can then analyze measurements, replan and make a choice about what to try next – just like a person.

SciUniverse

SciUniverse evaluates whether frontier models can turn scientific objectives into verifiable results across chemistry, biology, and materials science inside of Facility-0 or its digital twin.
