- Petrichor@PetrichorbiosNov 10We think biology is the most important field AI will touch and at the same time the most data-constrained one. Frontier labs are all going after it and need far more experiments than they can run themselves, so we run them.1Petrichor@PetrichorbiosNov 10Models use the lab directly through our Python library, writing each experiment as a job and submitting it themselves. We capture as much data as we can from every run, so labs end up with the best possible training data for improving their models.2Petrichor@PetrichorbiosNov 10Customers own all the data we produce for them, and we never share it or train on it.

People are supposed to pay $5000 or $10,000 for you to run an experiment for the first time in your life and we are supposed to trust the results.1
