Inherent, founded by DeepMind alumni, says its AI ‘teammate’ just outperformed Anthropic and OpenAI at replicating research
DeepMind alumni's Inherent just shipped Faraday—an AI agent that outperformed Claude and GPT at replicating published research. That's not a benchmark; that's a workflow.
Why it matters
An autonomous research agent capable of end-to-end paper replication represents a concrete deployment of agentic AI in knowledge work. If Faraday's claims hold, it signals a meaningful shift in how scientific reproducibility and innovation pipelines could be automated—and a new entrant in the frontier-lab race.
