Inherent Labs Introduces Faraday 27B AI Scientist
The model adds scientific intuition to coding agents for paper replication.
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.
1/ Today, we introduce Faraday, a 27B-parameter AI Scientist that extends the capabilities of coding agents with a layer of scientific intuition. Trained via long-horizon RL, Faraday outperforms Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5 on the task of replicating research papers. 🧵
