I’m building a new team at @GoogleDeepMind to work on Open-Ended Discovery! We’re looking for strong Research Scientists and Research Engineers to help us push the frontier of autonomously discovering novel artifacts such as new knowledge, capabilities, or algorithms, in an

Amazing to see all the excitement around RSI, which finally feels within reach. I pitched RSI back when I was at FAIR in 2023, right after we did Toolformer, which was arguably too early. But we got to see the first signs it may be possible while working on MLGym with

Combining LLMs with Bayesian methods could provide a path towards more efficient and principled automation of scientific discovery. Nice to see these explorations.

Predicting the answer to interventional "what if?" questions — the outcome of an action you never took — need a *mechanistic* model, not a curve fit. And you can only learn one by *experimenting*. Experiments are costly, so the real game is **data efficiency**. Meet the Model

1/ Today, we introduce Faraday, a 27B-parameter AI Scientist that extends the capabilities of coding agents with a layer of scientific intuition. Trained via long-horizon RL, Faraday outperforms Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5 on the task of replicating research papers. 🧵
