excited to share a bit of what we've been up to
six months ago, we started C5R to build physical spaces where models can do R&D. in twelve weeks, we had our first facility up. since then, we've brought together an incredible team of friends and former colleagues.
a lot of people helped make this happen. thank you.

18 months ago, I went all in on studying biology. I started by building a lab in my apartment (worms!) and later joined one at UCSF.
Meanwhile, models were making advances in the virtual world, but in the lab — they fell short.
We started C5R to fix this. See more below!

There are 158 devices in the facility
Each is reverse engineered & integrated
Liquid handlers, robots, sequencers… even each light
The building is a massive programmable robot
In 12 weeks, we built a research facility that is run entirely by AI.
AI designs, executes, and observes experiments end-to-end across biology, chemistry, and materials science.
We’re introducing SciUniverse: a benchmark that measures AI’s ability to do real-world scientific research.
