About

While modern AI excels in any area you can collect a lot of data for, it struggles in areas where data is sparse or costly to attain. Designing new molecules, discovering new physics, and engineering new materials are all domains where collecting data is extremely costly. We dream of a world where AI accelerates research in all of these domains and creates a more abundant future for humanity, but the current technology is not there. That’s why we started Confluence Labs. We are building AI that can design highly effective experiments in data-sparse domains and learn maximally from the data it already has.
