Inherent, founded by DeepMind alumni, says its AI ‘teammate’ just outperformed Anthropic and OpenAI at replicating research

# AI Startup Claims Breakthrough in Automating Scientific Research A new AI system called Faraday can reproduce scientific experiments and findings better than leading AI assistants from OpenAI and Anthropic, according to researchers who left DeepMind to start their own company. If the claim holds up, this could make it easier for scientists to verify research and speed up discovery by automating the tedious work of replicating studies. The development signals that AI might soon become a genuine research partner rather than just a tool for answering questions.
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.
