Inherent Labs Introduces Faraday 27B AI Scientist

Inherent Labs posted its introduction of Faraday, a 27B-parameter model trained via long-horizon RL. The announcement states the system extends coding agents with scientific intuition and outperforms Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5 on replicating research papers. Multiple researchers including Jakob Foerster, Roberta Raileanu, Ross Taylor, and Nando de Freitas shared or quoted the post on X. A linked arXiv paper discusses training AI scientists for research replication.
