Team
People who can run the experiment and train the model
A team from science and frontier AI research, connecting scientific questions, data and experimental feedback into one discovery loop.
-
01
Scientific definition
Start from a real unknown and turn it into a researchable, verifiable question.
-
02
Model training
Within DFM's capability definition, let models learn from scientific tasks and real feedback.
-
03
Real execution
Call tools, data and experimental environments so judgements meet reality.
-
04
Continuous improvement
Turn every result into the starting point of the next discovery.
