Read about it on our blog (link below), and try it on our website. Academics get three free runs per month. (It's also now way easier to try, since you don't have to have a dataset at hand to get Kosmos to do really interesting analysis.) 5/n

This allowed it to come up with a plausible mechanism for its initial finding using other datasets, all without human intervention. In our testing so far, it seems like a very significant unlock. 4/n

In our blog post (link below), we describe how Kosmos was able to take a finding about TGFb signaling and the extracellular matrix in pancreatic cancer from bulk RNAseq and enrich it with further analysis in human clinical data and single cell data that it grabbed autonomously. 3/n
January 14, 2026 at 4:38 PM
We've seen runs where it will come up with a finding, try to replicate it in other datasets, fail, and then iterate on its hypothesis until it finds something more robust. 2/n

Give it a try here: platform.edisonscientific.com

And read our paper: edisonscientific.com/kosmos-report

We have built this to accelerate science, and we think it's pretty neat. We are super excited to see what people think.

A single run can read 1,500 papers and write 42,000 lines of code. At least 79% of its findings are reproducible. We have already made major discoveries with it from clinical genetics to material science. And we are providing free tier usage for academic researchers.
