Frontier AI reasoning model trained to generate hypotheses, design experiments and interpret results. Powers hypothesis-generation loops in AI Science Factories for rapid discovery cycles.
Deployed in pharma, materials and energy. Generates hypotheses and designs experiments.
Checked 10 Oct0 updates this week
Lila Iris uses domain knowledge and learned patterns to propose hypotheses about what catalysts or molecules might have desired properties.
Robotic arms in the AI Science Factory synthesize proposed compounds following Iris-designed recipes, handling safety and quality control.
Spectrometry, chromatography and other analytical tools measure the properties of synthesized compounds automatically.
Experimental results (success or failure) are analyzed and fed back to Iris, which refines hypotheses for the next iteration.
