Science in the age of foundation models

As foundation models expand into scientific domains, they require fundamental architectural changes—not just scale—to satisfy domain-specific constraints and maintain the rigor that science demands. This is a critical strategic consideration for AI teams building scientific applications.

Foundation models require physical-constraint satisfaction for scientific applications

The briefs

As AI applications consume more compute per request, infrastructure platforms are adding granular controls to prevent token waste when users abandon requests. This is a meaningful cost lever for AI-heavy apps at scale.

Vercel Functions (Node.js) now support per-request cancellation detection
