Proud to be at the company where scientific advances that can improve our lives are being vastly accelerated.
Green hydrogen currently runs on iridium — one of Earth's rarest metals, a few tonnes mined per year. Our AI-directed lab screened 2,942 catalysts in 3 months and surfaced a palladium-based lead the field had written off, now past 1,000 hours of testing in acid.
ai being able to verify hypotheses in the real-world takes a full stack of model-training infra, lab orchestration software, and (novel) data-generating instruments we're building that @LilaSciences and are excited to share early results in catalyst discovery! we work across life sciences, chemistry, and materials science. excited for the future of ai at the frontiers of science
I'd like to share one of my favorite stories about a discovery we made at @LilaSciences. We’ve been working for a while on catalysts for clean hydrogen. One day, our AI proposed chemistry that a scientist who’d studied this exact reaction for 12 years thought had to be wrong.
@_sholtodouglas absolute bop, but the sharp left turn was a right from the driver’s perspective
come work with @Gregory_Kyro and yours truly on some of the most impactful problems out there in the world of AI! feel free to DM either of us
I'm building Scientific Superintelligence at @LilaSciences so that we can cure all diseases This requires self-play against reality, where an AI agent can formulate hypotheses, design and execute experiments, and refine its reasoning through empirical feedback If you're
So proud of our new open-endedness team @LilaSciences! We'll be sharing work with the world soon. In the meantime, you can learn more about us in this team profile Lila just posted. Our bet is that open- endedness is mission-critical to real scientific discovery. More👇
A batch of "junk" diamond crystals turned out to be exactly what the researchers needed. That instinct -- don't throw out the weird result -- is the philosophy behind Lila's Open-Endedness team led by @kenneth0stanley lila.ai/news/whats-a-s…
@latentjasper @techreview @LilaSciences @GVMaltzahn @AndrewLBeam Thanks Jasper!!
honored to be named to @techreview 's Innovators under 35 list! the article below highlights the work we're doing @LilaSciences to build scientific superintelligence with @GVMaltzahn , @AndrewLBeam and an amazing team of too many folks to mention we are working on scaled verification of AI hypotheses in the real world and are going full stack from post-training language models to running automated labs
@ShashwatGoel7 @techreview @LilaSciences @GVMaltzahn @AndrewLBeam Thanks! Much appreciated!
@kenneth0stanley @LilaSciences Thank you, Ken! Amazing to be working with you and your team 🌳🌉
@AndrewLBeam you are even more amazing to work with!
@tw_killian @LilaSciences truly too kind, Taylor! thanks for being an amazing teammate on this 🚀
thanks again to everyone involved in the creation of Innovators Under 35 and @LilaSciences ! technologyreview.com/innovator/benj…
wait I can’t swap the rotation of this one
people who booked the meeting room right after me
We had a chance to test drive a preview version of Nemtron 3.5 Lightning at Lila. We tested it in some really challenging RL environments in materials science and it was super easy to train and mastered the task much faster than previous models. Nice job by the Nemotron team!
Lightning is built to specialize. Post-train Nemotron 3.5 Lightning with NVIDIA NeMo for your domain data, tools, workflows and policies. Across cybersecurity, coding, legal and energy tasks, post-training improves accuracy for specialized work.
Post-training open-weight models for scientific tasks is core to @LilaSciences's platform and Nemotron 3.5 Lightning has been a great model to work with in our experience⚡️

I'll be at Ray Summit this year - if you're going or will be in the Bay Area and want to connect, shoot me a message!
We're headed to Ray Summit in SF (Aug 24–26). 🚀 Catch our CTO @AndrewLBeam's keynote + swing by our booth to meet the LILA team and learn more about what we're building. Details ⤵️ anyscale.com/ray-summit/2026
