C5R builds research facilities for frontier models

San Francisco
Thrilling to be at the frontier of science, and an honor to be part of this team!
In 12 weeks, we built a research facility that is run entirely by AI. AI designs, executes, and observes experiments end-to-end across biology, chemistry, and materials science. We’re introducing SciUniverse: a benchmark that measures AI’s ability to do real-world scientific research.

We made an ontology of actions, an inventory management system, and an experiment scheduler across machines & people. We’ve integrated 40+ scientific instruments – by reverse engineering drivers and using custom hardware adapters. This is a physical harness for research.

Models doing Software and Mathematics have had the benefit of instant verification loops. Science is an intrinsically physical endeavor. AI is going to radically change how we do science. We're building facilities where models can execute the entire research process and learn directly from reality.
