c5rcorp announced a research facility built in 12 weeks that it says is run entirely by AI, with AI designing, executing, and observing experiments end-to-end across biology, chemistry, and materials science.

Alongside it, the team introduced SciUniverse, a benchmark measuring AI's ability to do real-world scientific research. No specific results or methodology were shared in the post, so claims should be treated as preliminary until the underlying data appears.
