Foundation Models for Scientific Research
We're building the infrastructure for the era of autonomous science. Our core thesis: scientific foundation models with real research "taste" require two things, built in parallel. A product that captures high-quality organic research-process data at scale, and the training and research to turn that data into models with genuine scientific "taste". We're building both.

Cursor for Scientific Research.
Synthetic Sciences offers a platform where AI co-scientists handle the full research loop—from literature review to hypotheses, experiments, results, and publication drafts—for scientific domains, starting with ML and computational biology. It targets researchers and R&D teams seeking to accelerate scientific work by integrating literature, code, and experiments into a unified workflow.
