Model-driven research facilities where AI runs real experiments
C5R builds physical research environments where AI models can design, execute, and iterate on experiments across biology, chemistry, and materials science. Facility-0 in San Francisco is its first model-driven lab: software controls and monitors instruments from presses to pipettes so models can explore inventory, plan experiments as code, run them, and replan from measurements. The company also publishes SciUniverse, a benchmark for whether frontier models can turn scientific objectives into verifiable results inside Facility-0 or its digital twin.
