Petrichor

Wet lab for AI models and the labs that train them: a model sends an experiment in plain language or a structured job format, scientists run it alongside many others in parallel, every step is photographed and logged, results stream back while the run is still going, and the complete record, failures included, is delivered as data.

Petrichor Data service

Wet lab service for AI labs and the models they train: experiments written by a model in plain language or a structured format are run by scientists in parallel, every step is photographed and exported from the instruments into a timestamped log, results stream back while the run is going and the complete record, including failed steps, is delivered; contact only, no published price.
