This is a great team, and they have a vision for AI for Science that I think could be really beneficial. I invested!

We’re excited to introduce Inherent, a lab designed from scratch to build AI agents that discover new knowledge.

The coming era of machine-driven scientific inquiry demands a new kind of research institution and a new kind of AI.

To achieve our mission, we live within the experiment, recursively self-improving the entire research organisation. We investigate questions including:

- What does ‘AI taste’ look like in the sciences, and how can we build an institution that embraces this new aesthetic of discovery? - What new kinds of human-machine teaming will make the most of AI that can truly innovate? - How can we build recursive self-improvement at the collective level that continually increases human agency over outcomes?

We have just closed a $50m seed round led by @IndexVentures and @radicalvcfund, with participation from other outstanding investors including NVentures (@nvidia's venture capital arm), @buildexante, Metaplanet, Macroscopic, @MythosVentures, Charlie Songhurst, @chalfs, @jluan, @dwarkesh_sp, @Thom_Wolf, @j_foerst and @maxjaderberg. We are advised by @matthewclifford.

The next industrial revolution is gathering steam on the home turf of the last one :)

Welcome to another amazing player in the space of automated/augmented knowledge discovery!

Teddy, Ed, Kally and Louis are some of the most impressive, thoughtful and ambitious founders I’ve met. Excited to see Inherent launch (and to be a small part of it, alongside @join_ef)

This is an exciting new venture led by some really smart people--thinking about how to build AI that doesn't just recognize patterns in past data but can discover new knowledge. Important to be building AI for scientific inquiry. Very interested to see what Inherent can do.

@inherent_labs I've seen the word "recursive" being spelt in many different ways of late, but "inherent" has got to be the strangest spelling yet😁 Congrats!

1.) Science outside of training data requires human wet lab not a bunch of agents 2.) AI agent swarm wander after a few steps. Seems like another Isomorphic with no wet lab plans (or data after 5 years) and all the same people. The only way this will be truly paradigm shifting is if the hypotheses and experiments are outside of the training data and if so, then you have to do wet lab by humans or (humanoid robots in the future) that can do anything because if you limit experiments to the automated robot labs this limits your experiments to the range of motion of robot arms and protocols.

My hypotheses and experiments are all outside training data and I do new experiments every day across multiple different fields at once, buy different supplies where my hypotheses and R&D take me. That’s not possible with boring closed loop robot labs.

#2 Agents are known to go on tangents or be wrong after a few steps. You have a swarm of agents all off by 1 or 2 steps then that’s a problem.
