Two years ago materials barely existed in the context of AI. This week: Met with @satyanadella in London. Spoke at @nvidia GTC in Berlin to a packed room for a AI for materials panel. AI itself, is now limited by physical things. Power, cooling, packaging, memory. All materials problems, and the ones we’re working on at @cusp_ai .

CuspAI has announced the AI Materials foundry, working with many global partners to accelerate discovery in chemistry and material sciences. Fantastic to also have them in the NVIDIA Ventures portfolio.
Introducing CuspAI’s AI Materials Foundry. We’re launching a global network to fundamentally accelerate how we discover and design the physical building blocks of our world.

In a few hours I’ll be landing in Seoul for #ICML2026 🇰🇷 !! Alongside colleagues from @cusp_ai , I’ll be around all week (6-11 July) and would love to exchange ideas about: → AI co-scientists navigating chemical space → synthesisability and closing the gap between the screen and the lab → evals, guardrails and verification mechanisms for scientific agents → RL, circuit interp, persistent memory, long-horizon reasoning, and #AI4Science more broadly DM/comment if you want to grab a coffee ☕ and meet some of the team… we’re hiring btw 🙌 - jobs.ashbyhq.com/cuspai/916e…

To operate in the physical world, AI needs more than simulations—it needs to understand the real world. At @Founders_Forum Global, Niantic Spatial Founder & Executive Chairman @johnhanke joined Chad Edwards (@cusp_ai), Tim Rocktäschel (@Recursive_SI), and Emily Turner (@HSBCInnovation) to discuss the next frontier of AI training moving beyond text to new domains including the physical world. We're building the spatial intelligence layer that helps AI understand, localize, and navigate real-world environments. #NianticSpatial #PhysicalAI #Robotics #AI #GeospatialAI #FFGlobal2026 #FoundersForum #FFG

Introducing new materials into industrial processes can be a revolution for customers across industries. In the semiconductor space for example, a new, gamechanging material is introduced about once in a generation...

Hindsight is a luxury, but the biggest innovations are rarely obvious at the start. I sat down with former @ASMLcompany President Martin van den Brink to discuss how they bet the company on EUV technology long before the AI boom made it essential.

Atoms (not bits) are the building blocks of our world. We’ve moved past the digital frontier with physical intelligence. @cusp_ai's scientific agents now orchestrate entire discovery loops from initial query to physical realisation. Science is now moving at the speed of software. Huge news incoming. The physical world is about to get a lot more intelligent.

Unveiling our new startup Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI Labs). We just completed our seed round: $1.03B / 890M€, one the largest seeds ever, probably the largest for a European company. We're hiring! [the background image is the Veil Nebula - a picture I took from my backyard, most appropriate for an unveiling] More details here: techcrunch.com/2026/03/09/ya…
Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI) is building a new breed of AI systems that understand the world, have persistent memory, can reason and plan, and are controllable and safe. We’ve raised a $1.03B (~€890M) round from global investors who believe in our vision of universally intelligent systems centered on world models. This round is co-led by Cathay Innovation, Greycroft, Hiro Capital, HV Capital, and Bezos Expeditions, along with other investors and angels across the world. We are a growing team of researchers and builders, operating in Paris, New York, Montreal and Singapore from day one. Read more: amilabs.xyz/ AMI - Real world. Real intelligence.

🔬 New Science pod with @cusp_ai! We are entering a new era where materials science and discovery is transitioning from slow, manual experimentation, to a high-speed search problem powered by generative AI and "physics processing units." @wellingmax argues that the foundation of all modern technology—from GPUs to climate solutions—is a materials problem, and that unifying the mathematics of stochastic thermodynamics with generative AI will unlock a new paradigm of automated scientific discovery.

We were thrilled to join forces with @cusp_ai, @SakanaAILabs, @SamsungNext, & @nvidia during @NeurIPSConf to bring to life the panel event: ‘AI for Science: Algorithms to Atoms.’ ⚛️ Our esteemed panelists and moderator (@BillDally, @wellingmax, @AnimaAnandkumar, Marc Tessier-Lavigne, @hardmaru , Trenton Jerde) discussed what AI has already made possible across scientific domains, where the next breakthroughs may emerge, and how far automation of the scientific method can go. We’re delighted to now share the replay of this thoughtful, insightful, and important discussion and hope you enjoy it. Please reach out to continue the conversation… 📺: youtu.be/FVTEg5tvTFA
