OpenScience AI agent
Open-source AI workbench for scientific research that brings literature, code, experiments, compute and results into one workspace; the company also runs Atlas (infrastructure for autonomous, open science), Ascent (agents that plan and run experiments across a user's compute) and FrontierRSI (an evaluation of agents at autonomous ML research), and its Ace service sells managed model access prepaid and pay as you go.
