What took a lab six months now takes a machine 12 hours. Not assisted research- autonomous discovery.
Edison Scientific’s Kosmos reads 1,500 research papers, executes 42,000 lines of code, generates hypotheses, and delivers fully cited conclusions. All in half a day.
Beta users confirm: what takes human researchers six months, Kosmos completes in 12 hours. With 79% accuracy.
Seven discoveries so far across metabolomics, materials science, neuroscience. Backed by Eric Schmidt. Each finding traceable to specific code or literature. Full audit trail.
What changes: pharma can test thousands of hypotheses a year instead of dozens. Materials labs explore candidates before human teams finish scoping experiments. R&D budgets that once funded decades of cycles can buy centuries of exploration. Advantage flows to whoever runs the most experiments, not the single smartest one.
When six months becomes 12 hours, the bottleneck is no longer discovery speed. It is how fast institutions can absorb discoveries.
