The Neuron: AI Explained
The AI Agent That Compressed 8 Years of R&D Into 2 Weeks

Yeah, so that's where we still have human scientists coming in to train this.

The Neuron: AI Explained
The AI Agent That Compressed 8 Years of R&D Into 2 Weeks

So think of the database as just like a dictionary, right?

The Neuron: AI Explained
The AI Agent That Compressed 8 Years of R&D Into 2 Weeks

You still need a person to know, okay, what letter, what word do I look up?

The Neuron: AI Explained
The AI Agent That Compressed 8 Years of R&D Into 2 Weeks

So...

The Neuron: AI Explained
The AI Agent That Compressed 8 Years of R&D Into 2 Weeks

That's where the intelligence comes in.

The Neuron: AI Explained
The AI Agent That Compressed 8 Years of R&D Into 2 Weeks

For each domain, we have about 50 human scientists to teach the model.

The Neuron: AI Explained
The AI Agent That Compressed 8 Years of R&D Into 2 Weeks

For example, we still use the frontier models like the GPT-5 and the Gemini.

The Neuron: AI Explained
The AI Agent That Compressed 8 Years of R&D Into 2 Weeks

And then those are not specifically trained in these domains.

The Neuron: AI Explained
The AI Agent That Compressed 8 Years of R&D Into 2 Weeks

They're very general.

The Neuron: AI Explained
The AI Agent That Compressed 8 Years of R&D Into 2 Weeks

So we would have about a team of 50 scientists.

The Neuron: AI Explained
The AI Agent That Compressed 8 Years of R&D Into 2 Weeks

domain scientists and then teach the frontier models, for example, about batteries, about pesticides, about cosmetics.

The Neuron: AI Explained
The AI Agent That Compressed 8 Years of R&D Into 2 Weeks

In each domain, here are the things that you should look for.

The Neuron: AI Explained
The AI Agent That Compressed 8 Years of R&D Into 2 Weeks

For example, in the battery case, to have a high temperature, stable cycle life, you need the molecule to have this particular structure.

The Neuron: AI Explained
The AI Agent That Compressed 8 Years of R&D Into 2 Weeks

So when you go through the entire database of molecules, look for these structures and then look for melting point, boiling points within a certain range.

The Neuron: AI Explained
The AI Agent That Compressed 8 Years of R&D Into 2 Weeks

Look for energies within a certain range.

The Neuron: AI Explained
The AI Agent That Compressed 8 Years of R&D Into 2 Weeks

So the human scientists would actually teach the frontier model these domain specific knowledge.

The Neuron: AI Explained
The AI Agent That Compressed 8 Years of R&D Into 2 Weeks

And then this intelligence would go look for the corresponding molecules in that database.

The Neuron: AI Explained
The AI Agent That Compressed 8 Years of R&D Into 2 Weeks

So for now, we are using an agentic LEM, and then it's a combination of GPT-5 and then Gemini.

The Neuron: AI Explained
The AI Agent That Compressed 8 Years of R&D Into 2 Weeks

And so all the domain-specific constraints and then the information we would teach this agent, and then the agent will look for it in the database.

The Neuron: AI Explained
The AI Agent That Compressed 8 Years of R&D Into 2 Weeks

So cool.
