About
Reinforcement learning has taken models remarkably far in math and code, where an answer can be checked and a model can learn from ten thousand attempts. Science offers no such reward function. We build the environments and datasets that supply what is missing: expert scientists working on real research problems, and a record of the judgment they exercise before any result is certain. Our long-term goal is a world where discovery is no longer bottlenecked by the number of human scientists alive to pursue it.
