FutureHouse spins out Edison Scientific and launches Kosmos, an AI scientist for long research runs

FutureHouse/AI Scientist platform

FutureHouse launched Edison Scientific, a commercial spinout to develop and sell its AI Scientist, run by Sam Rodriques and Andrew White. Its Kosmos system runs for up to 12 hours, reading 1,500 papers and writing 42,000 lines of analysis code per run; independent scientists judged 79.4% of its statements accurate.

• Spinout created to scale beyond nonprofit constraints; inbound interest from executives at six of the top ten pharma companies.
• Edison maintains free access for researchers while offering premium features for power users; FutureHouse remains focused on foundational biology research.
• Safeguards prevent conflicts of interest as Sam Rodriques and Andrew White lead both organizations.
