CuspAI

AI for new materials discovery

CuspAI applies frontier AI to materials discovery, compressing work that nature took billions of years to do into months. The product is effectively a search engine for next-generation materials: rather than screening candidates one at a time, researchers describe the properties they need and the models propose materials that could deliver them. Target applications are energy, clean water, the future of compute and carbon capture. The founding team combines AI, chemistry and engineering researchers, and is among the most cited in the field. External data partnerships are central to the approach, since model capability tracks the breadth of the underlying data portfolio.
