Inherent Labs introduced Faraday, a 27B-parameter AI Scientist designed to extend coding agents with a layer of scientific intuition. Trained via long-horizon reinforcement learning, Faraday reportedly outperforms Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT-4.5 on the task of replicating research papers. This is seen as the first step towards AI Scientists that will transform the discovery process both in silico and in situ.
