Kosmos AI scientist is introduced by Edison Scientific

In addition to the introduction of Kosmos, an autonomous AI research system that beta testers claim can finish six months' worth of scientific work in a single day, Futurehouse also announced the launch of its commercial spinout Edison Scientific. The specifics: Kosmos processes 1,500 papers and runs 42k lines of code per run while coordinating cycles of literature review, data analysis, and hypothesis creation. Every generation of Kosmos has complete citation traceability for each claim, making it simple to audit down to individual lines of code. The AI replicated unpublished findings and made new discoveries in a variety of domains, and 79% of Kosmos' outputs were verified as accurate. FutureHouse continues its nonprofit foundational research development, while Edison Scientific will commercialize the platform in response to pharmaceutical demand. According to Edison Scientific, the "era of AI-accelerated science is here," and Kosmos is carrying on the trend of AI models eliminating the need for human bandwidth in research and analysis. These timeline-compressing capabilities have the potential to drastically alter the rate of advancement in all scientific fields.
