Periodic Labs

“What's interesting is just the compute costs relative to physical infrastructure is actually surprising where, you know, so much money is spent on the compute that the physical infrastructure sometimes is actually lower, but, you know, has very large lead time…”

“As you're pointing out, you're going from systems that aren't just writing essays, not just writing software, but to literally generating matter. And I think it has pretty profound implications to semiconductors, airspace, energy.”

“We think about them almost as like an orchestration layer. So that's sort of a co-pilot assistant, but also like a system that can direct experiments. And it's almost, it's orchestrating other specialized models as well. So we do construct neural nets that are…”

“We're thinking about us ourselves as an intelligence layer for these companies. So you can think about system of record control plane for different Experiments and getting to solutions. But like you're saying, there is a very interesting aspect of some breakth…”

“And I think the physical sciences, physical engineering, Will have a very similar property where we establish these scaling properties and Bring that mindset.”

“Already the reliability of the sort of like hybrid systems is sufficient to produce Huge amounts of reliable data”

“Right now we're using almost like more like off the shelf robotics. It's like very simple, very commoditized not doing like a huge amount of innovation on, on that front.”

“But like if you produce a system that has modeled quantum mechanical objects really accurately, it's not really helping much on like, you know, fluid dynamics or, you know, like another kind of like level of abstraction.”

“The opinion that I and others held as periodic was, you're not going to see the same kind of acceleration in science and technology unless you start connecting these things to the physical world.”
