About

We are an AI research lab automating AI research. Our aim is to build a hill-climbing machine capable of solving humanity's greatest challenges in science and engineering, uncovering the next AlphaFold or Transformer faster, more systematically, and at scale. We treat discovery not as a matter of luck, but as a combinatorial search problem. Thesis will be the machine behind the defining breakthroughs of the next decade.
