Read about it on our blog (link below), and try it on our website. Academics get three free runs per month. (It's also now way easier to try, since you don't have to have a dataset at hand to get Kosmos to do really interesting analysis.) 5/n

This allowed it to come up with a plausible mechanism for its initial finding using other datasets, all without human intervention. In our testing so far, it seems like a very significant unlock. 4/n

In our blog post (link below), we describe how Kosmos was able to take a finding about TGFb signaling and the extracellular matrix in pancreatic cancer from bulk RNAseq and enrich it with further analysis in human clinical data and single cell data that it grabbed autonomously. 3/n

We've seen runs where it will come up with a finding, try to replicate it in other datasets, fail, and then iterate on its hypothesis until it finds something more robust. 2/n

We're launching integrations for Kosmos today that allow it to access 80% of publicly available biology data.

This means it can now find its own data to initiate projects, enrich its investigation with data from different modalities, and validate its findings in alternative datasets. 1/n

Notifications will be sent on January 15th. Reach out if you have any questions. 3/3

Also, we're announcing Edison Scientific, a new commercial spinout from FutureHouse. You can read more about that here: edisonscientific.com/articles/ann...

Edison Platform AI Agents for Scientific Discovery

Give it a try here: platform.edisonscientific.com

And read our paper: edisonscientific.com/kosmos-report

We have built this to accelerate science, and we think it's pretty neat. We are super excited to see what people think.

A single run can read 1,500 papers and write 42,000 lines of code. At least 79% of its findings are reproducible. We have already made major discoveries with it from clinical genetics to material science. And we are providing free tier usage for academic researchers.

Today, we're announcing Kosmos, our newest AI Scientist, available today. Kosmos makes fully autonomous scientific discoveries at scale by analyzing datasets and literature, and is the most powerful agent for science so far. Beta users estimate that Kosmos does 6 months of work in a single day.

We were blown away by the quality of the applicants for our fellowship. Thank you to everyone who applied -- stay tuned for the next round of applications next year. Read more here: www.futurehouse.org/fellowship 5/5

They will independently drive a project in collaboration with top academic labs around the country at Harvard, the Broad Institute, MIT, Stanford, and Caltech. 4/5

Each fellow will receive a $125k stipend, along with access to our wet lab and computational engineering resources, to research a specific question in biology or bioengineering using our agents. 3/5

Through the fellowship, we will support them in applying our AI agents at scale to make new discoveries in their domains of biology and bioengineering research. 2/5

Extremely excited to announce the recipients of the 2025 FutureHouse Independent Postdoctoral Fellowship! You might already know of them or their work, these are some of the absolute best rising stars in biology research today. 1/5

Heads up: terraforming Mars isn’t just sci-fi, it’s a real possibility that’s possible with today’s technology.

Mars could be green in MY lifetime. 🚀 🌼

What’s stopping us? We need a lot more real research into how to do it right. Don’t nuke Mars!

Early Tester Sign-up Form – FutureHouse Data Analysis Agent We're launching a beta version of our latest addition to the platform – Finch, a data analysis agent built to fully automate open-ended, data-driven discovery in biology. We're seeking a select group ...

(And full disclosure, we have not independently validated the findings in the videos above!)

It also messes a bunch of stuff up. We need extremely talented bioinformaticians and computational biologists to help us evaluate accuracy and reliability, and to help us train it. Beta testers will also be able to use it for their own analyses. 7/

Like Crow, Falcon, and Owl, Finch is a bona fide agent. Users upload their data, and then Finch runs code, generates figures, inspects the results, and iterates until it has fully answered the question. For our own projects internally, we have found it to be pretty awesome. 6/
