“Next, they’ll teach it to make baby food!”
The story behind the toon
What happened: A small London AI startup, Inherent, has developed an AI named Faraday that can independently replicate scientific research, outperforming larger models from OpenAI and Anthropic. Faraday focuses on 'research taste' and uses rewards instead of rules, marking a significant step in AI's ability to conduct science.
This Neural Toon is based on the story “Inherent, founded by DeepMind alumni, says its AI ‘teammate’ just outperformed Anthropic and OpenAI at replicating research”.
