And we’re off! Super excited to be launching today. Over the next 10 years, we are aiming to build a fully autonomous AI Scientist, and to use that AI Scientist to scale up biology research. Here are a few things to expect from us: 1/5
We are excited to announce a new talk series at Future House to promote our efforts of innovating at the intersection of AI & Biology. We are going to be hosting the first session next Tuesday, December 19th with Marta Skreta!

Just one example of the agents we are building at FutureHouse to automate scientific research. If you're excited about accelerating science, check out our opportunities:
Introducing PaperQA2, the first AI agent that conducts entire scientific literature reviews on its own.
PaperQA2 is also the first agent to beat PhD and Postdoc-level biology researchers on multiple literature research tasks, as measured both by accuracy on objective benchmarks
Today, we are opening recruitment for our Assessment Team at Future House. We want Future House to be the world leader for evaluating the scientific abilities of AI systems, particularly for biology research. Our Assessment Team will make that happen.
Today, we're releasing LAB-Bench, a set of >2000 evaluations for language models and agents on scientific research tasks in biology. Public models underperform PhD/postdoc-level humans on nearly all tasks. Claude 3.5 Sonnet is the clear frontrunner atm, but long way to go. 1/
Join us! We need exceptionally talented bioengineers, ML researchers, and everyone in between to help us build and evaluate AI systems to automate science.
The team that pulled together LAB-Bench, led by
@jonmlaurent
and
@joejanizek
, is extremely cracked. They pulled this together, from beginning to end, in just over 2 months. Lots more to do. If you want to join:

ChemCrow is out today in
@NatMachIntell
! ChemCrow is an agent that uses chem tools and a cloud-based robotic lab for open-ended chem tasks. It’s been a journey to get to publication and I’d like to share some history about it. It started back in 2022. 1/8
1. We believe that in order to automate science you have to be doing science. We are going to have our own wet lab, and our researchers will work both on building AI systems for science and applying those systems to specific biological systems. 2/5
2. We are focused on building systems that can reason scientifically. We want to design systems that can build models of the world, and that can come up with hypotheses and figure out how to test those hypotheses. 3/5
3. Our structure allows us to chase big, long-term ideas, rather than short-term apps or products. You’re not going to have an app on your phone from us this year, but expect the technologies we’re building to transform the entire scientific process in 5 or 10 years. 4/5

At FutureHouse, our AI Scientists need to be able to plan complex biological experiments and analyses, but frontier language models are not very reliable for planning long biology protocols. To that end, we recently created BioPlanner, an automated approach for assessing and

Today, Future House is announcing WikiCrow, our first automated system for synthesizing scientific knowledge. As a demo, we are releasing a cited technical summary for every gene in the human genome that previously lacked a Wikipedia article: 15,616 in all.
As scientists, we

This is probably one of the best opportunities for a junior bio researcher right now who wants to learn how the wet lab and AI will interact in the future of AI-powered science. If that sounds like you, get in touch!
We're expanding our wet lab at FutureHouse, and looking for exceptional junior bio researchers. Our AI systems are designing protocols & experiments to make basic science discoveries in biology. If you want to see the future of wet lab research, apply:
