Inherent, founded by DeepMind alumni, says its AI ‘teammate’ just outperformed Anthropic and OpenAI at replicating research

Inherent, a London AI startup founded by DeepMind alumni, has developed an AI agent named Faraday that outperforms larger models from Anthropic and OpenAI in replicating scientific research findings. Faraday operates on a smaller 27 billion parameter model, Qwen 3.6, and uses reinforcement learning to develop a sense of "research taste," aiming to contribute to scientific discovery beyond mere replication.
