White: FutureHouse bypassed custom foundation models to focus on scientific agents
“For example, at future house, we took the opinion that scientific agents are the future, and that allows us to skip a lot of steps because a lot of other people were like, we need to build a foundation model for X. Yeah. And we just skipped all that.”

White: RLHF fails on scientific hypotheses by ignoring impact and information gain
“We learned a lot about how bad our LHF is with people, just like people pay really attention to the tone, to the details, to like how many specific facts or figures on the hypothesis, right? Like actionability about like if the experiment is feasible, but what…”

White: Future House Focuses on Discovery Loops Over System Modeling
“We're trying to automate the like cognitive process of scientific discovery, making hypotheses. Choosing experiments to do, analyzing the results from experiments and using it to update your hypotheses or your confidence in those hypotheses, and then leading t…”

White: Co-Scientist uses LLM ranking while Robin filters with data and literature
“In co-scientists, their filtration process was other LLMs sort of ranking it with rubrics or like personas. And our filtration process was like literature search and data analysis.”
