Today we are releasing ether0, our first scientific reasoning model. We trained Mistral 24B with RL on several molecular design tasks in chemistry. Remarkably, we found that LLMs can learn some scientific tasks more much data-efficiently than specialized models trained from…
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…
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…
is the biggest barrier to automating wet lab automation really the protocol -> code translation step?
Introducing Finch, a new agent that fully automates data-driven discovery in biology. We are launching a closed beta for it today (sign up below). This is still early, but impressive, maybe similar to a good 1st yr grad student. In the video, see how it independently reproduces…
Want to call FutureHouse agents from your own code or agent? 1. Make an API key in settings on page 2. pip install futurehouse-client 3. enjoy having API access to open access literature, clinical trials, open targets, and chemcrow in a few lines.
really incredible work from Future house today

The plan at FutureHouse has been to build scientific agents and use them to make novel discoveries. We’ve spent the last year researching the best way to make agents. We’ve made a ton of progress and now we’ve engineered them to be used at scale, by anyone. Today, we’re launching…
Today, we are launching the first publicly available AI Scientist, via the FutureHouse Platform. Our AI Scientist agents can perform a wide variety of scientific tasks better than humans. By chaining them together, we've already started to discover new biology really fast. With…
This has been a long time coming, but it's finally out. Can't wait to see what you all do with it! Keep an eye out for improvements and new tools and capabilities in the coming weeks 😉.

This is but the first step in an ambitious project. To help us continue the journey, we're looking for expert bioinformaticians and computational biologists interested in contracting on extensions to this work. Reach out to [email protected] if this sounds like you!

This was a major effort for the last few months, and we have big plans for the future of this project! Congrats to @LudovicoMitche2 @GWellawatte @SidN137 @SGRodriques @andrewwhite01 and our collaborators at @SciMac who brought this together!

Congrats to everyone who worked on this! Was a huge effort from @LudovicoMitche2, @GWellawatte, @SidN137, @andrewwhite01, @SGRodriques at FutureHouse, and could not have been done without close collaboration with Ben and Lorenzo at @SciMac who are doing amazing work!

The info session for our FutureHouse fellowship is TOMORROW, Tuesday, 9:00am Pacific time. Come get all your questions answered! Details are on our website (see link below). Now for an AI generated image that we present as an offering to the Algorithms, may they Boost our Post.
Finishing 2024 with one more research result! We’ve trained small language agents to do hard sci tasks: engineering proteins, manipulating DNA, and working with sci literature in a new library called Aviary. We beat humans and frontier LLMs on these tasks!
Lab automation in academia is a completely different beast because the amount of funding is much lower, the turnover rate prevents institutional knowledge from accumulating, and the diversity of experiments is much higher.
One way to fix this is to leverage the higher openness to sharing information in academia. I want to create a network of academics who are trying to use automation so that we can share ideas with each other. Custom hardware engineering can bring costs down tremendously.

NEW preprint!🥳 Orthogroups are a prerequisite for comparative genomics and Tree of Life inquiries Introducing #OrthoHMM, software that improves orthogroup inference, which may refine our understanding of genome evolution and the Tree of Life 🔗 tinyurl.com/4s9mwxz6
.@CamilloMoschner strikes again: you can now use z-touch probing on non-capacitive materials: plates, tubes, throughs, etc. A big step towards automated labware definitions github.com/PyLabRobot/pyl…
