Periodical Labs Tuesday came out of the furtivity with a war case of $ 300 million as seed, supported by a technological industry which is those who: Andreesen Horowitz, DST, Nvidia, Accel, Elad Gil, Jeff Dean, Eric Schmidt and Jeff Bezos.

The periodic workshops were founded by Ekin Dogus Cubuk and Liam Fedus. Cubuk led the team of materials and chemistry at Google Brain and Deepmind, where one of his projects was, for example, an artificial intelligence tool called Gnome. That tool Over 2 million new crystals discovered in 2023Materials that one day could be used to feed new generations of technology, the researchers say.

Fedus is a vice -president who forms the research to Oveni and one of the researchers who have contributed to creating chatgpt. He also led the team that created the First neural network from trillion of parameters.

His little team is also girls with researchers who have worked on other important artificial intelligence projects and material sciences, from the construction of the operator of Openi’s agents to work on Microsoft’s Mattergen, one AI Discovery Science LLM.

The objective of periodic workshops is nothing more than to automate scientific discovery, creating artificial intelligence scientists, says society. This means building workshops in which robots lead physical experiments, collect data, they and try again, learning and improving Asy.

The first goal of the laboratory is to invent new superconductors who hope they work better and probably require less energy than existing superconductors. But the well -believed startup also hopes to find other issues.

Another goal is to collect all the data of the physical world that its artificial intelligence scientists produce as they mix and heat and manipulate otherwise various and raw in their search for something new.

“Until now, the progress of the scientific Aid have come from models trained on the Internet” and the LLM have “exhausted” the Internet as a source that can be consumed, says the company in an introductory Blog posts. “” “”[A]Per periodic, we are building artificial intelligence scientists AND The self -employed workshops that they can operate. “

The hope is that, not only the workshops to invent Materials of next generation, but their new new data will produce that artificial intelligence models can consume to continue their evolution.

Although this can be one of the most impressive groups of researchers to assemble a startup for these purposes, it is not the only one to work on a scientist. To as a tool to automate chemistry discoveries it was a Topic of academic research since at least 2023. It is the search for small startups like Tetsuwan Scientificas well as non -profit organizations such as Future house and the University of Toronto Acceleration of the consortium.
