| Futurehouse just announced the launch of its commercial spinout Edison Scientific, debuting an autonomous AI research system called Kosmos, a tool built to handle full-scale scientific discovery.
Kosmos doesn't chat; it investigates. It reads thousands of papers, writes and executes code, tests hypotheses, and delivers a report you can audit line by line. Beta users say one 12-hour run matches the work of six months in the lab. The Problem Scientific research still moves at human speed. Reading literature, analyzing data, and forming hypotheses take time, and even with better compute, humans remain the bottleneck.
Edison Scientific set out to automate the entire research cycle, not just parts of it, while keeping outputs traceable and reproducible. The Insight Previous AI scientists, like Robin or Sakana's AI Scientist, could reason or search, but not both coherently. Kosmos fixes this with a structured world model, a shared memory that links every agent's findings together.
It acts as the system's long-term brain, ensuring that every step, from literature review to statistical analysis, aligns with the core research objective. The Breakthrough - Executes 42,000 lines of code and reads 1,500 scientific papers.
- Coordinates 200 agent rollouts across data and literature tasks.
- Produces a fully cited scientific report, with every statement traceable to code or source.
- Completes up to 20 research cycles in about 12 hours.
The Impact - Independent experts verified 79.4% of Kosmos' claims as accurate.
- Reproduced three unpublished or post-cutoff discoveries across fields.
- Proposed four new findings, including evidence that SOD2 reduces cardiac fibrosis in humans.
How to Use It You can access Kosmos through Edison Scientific's platform. Upload your dataset, define a research goal, and start a run. Each run costs $200 (200 credits at $1 each), with limited free access for academics.
After about a day, you receive a fully auditable, literature-backed research report showing every data point and code path used to reach its conclusions. |
