Inherent, founded by DeepMind alumni, says its AI ‘teammate’ just outperformed Anthropic

Research matters when it gives scientists better tools or clearer answers. The question is whether this work actually advances understanding or just adds noise.

Reporting

TechCrunch reports that Inherent, founded by DeepMind alumni, says its AI ‘teammate’ just outperformed Anthropic and OpenAI at replicating research. 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. The key issue is whether the finding is strong enough to guide follow-up research, better tools, safer systems, or real-world applications.
