Inherent's AI Agent Outperforms Anthropic and OpenAI in Scientific Research Replication

#ai #startups #research #reinforcement-learning #deepmind

Inherent's AI agent Faraday outperformed Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.8 and OpenAI's GPT-5.5 in replicating scientific research using a smaller model (Qwen 3.6 with 27B parameters) through reinforcement learning to develop 'research taste'. The startup focuses on building AI scientists with collaborative instincts rather than just verifying existing results.

Built by DeepMind alumni, British AI lab Inherent released Faraday, an AI agent whose ability to replicate scientific papers could be a stepping stone for innovation.
