Introducing Hydrogen-1.0, Deep Principle’s first general-purpose large AI model, built to support scientific discovery. Hydrogen-1.0 helps researchers reason through complex scientific questions, carry out calculations and simulations, turn research ideas into experimental plans, and use feedback to guide further exploration. Today, we’re releasing its model weights for researchers and developers to adapt and evaluate on their own scientific tasks. Hydrogen-1.0 is also available in our AI Scientist product, MIRA. Explore the benchmarks, research examples, and ways to get started in the posts below. Building intelligence for scientific discovery.

AI for science should give researchers more room to ask bold questions and explore new directions. Getting there takes collaboration. Thank you to @UniPat_AI , @Macaron0fficial , and NeuroSpark for helping us build Hydrogen-1.0. Let's advance scientific discovery together.

In our metal-complex search evaluation, Hydrogen-1.0 used feedback from previous recommendations to search for candidates with larger HOMO–LUMO gaps. A concrete example of using successive evaluation results to guide materials exploration toward a defined target.

Hydrogen-1.0 helps researchers develop procedures and specify individual operations. Lab Compile then checks equipment capabilities, prerequisites, and execution order in a virtual environment. One concrete example: flagging an instruction to aspirate liquid before a fresh pipette tip has been fitted. By checking these details virtually, researchers can identify and revise execution issues before moving to the lab.
72
Hydrogen-1.0 helps researchers investigate material properties, compare reaction pathways, and identify promising directions for experiments through calculations and simulations. In our polyethylene example, it builds a molecular model and writes simulation code. When a density calculation produces an abnormal result, it helps trace the issue to double-counting, correct the code, and rerun the calculation. These calculations give researchers a clearer basis for deciding what to test next.
82
In our evaluations, Hydrogen-1.0 achieved: - 38.3% problem-solving success on FrontierScience Research (FSR), 5.0 percentage points above GPT-6 Astra. - 93.0% accuracy on GPQA Diamond, close to Kimi K3’s 93.5%. These benchmarks examine two essential capabilities for scientific work: reasoning through unfamiliar, multi-step problems and answering challenging questions in physics, chemistry, and biology.

We just dropped Materials Property Axiom (MPA). The problem: most materials foundation models crush it on computed properties, but choke on real experimental data (boiling points, solubility, flammability, etc.). MPA fixes this with physics-aligned transfer learning: • 64M structures → 3D pre-training • Thermochemistry + electronics + solvation → mid-training alignment • Hybrid attention/additive readout → experimental fine-tuning Results: ~10% better across 40 benchmarks, up to 51% on hard OOD tasks. The rule: match the physics, not just the data. Live at sciclaw.ai 🔗 blog.deepprinciple.com/intro…

Deep Principle retweeted
I’m thrilled to share that Professor Heather Kulik @KulikGroup from MIT is joining @DeepPrinciple part time as our Chief Scientist! As the Lammot du Pont Professor at MIT, Heather is a true pioneer at the intersection of AI and Science. Her breakthrough research in accelerating chemical and materials discovery has redefined the boundaries of computation. For me and @HaojunJia1 , this is a deeply meaningful moment. Heather was our PhD advisor at MIT, where she inspired us all the way through and it’s been our dream come true to have our mentor join us in this mission. We couldn't be more excited about pushing the frontiers of AI for materials discovery together, again.

Recently, Science published a feature article titled "How will we know if AI is smart enough to do science?". The article focuses on the latest breakthroughs in evaluation systems for artificial intelligence's scientific capabilities, providing an in-depth analysis of the cutting-edge explorations by institutions such as Deep Principle, OpenAI, and FutureHouse in developing benchmarks for scientific intelligence.

The article highlights the "Scientific Discovery Evaluation" (SDE) benchmark, led by Deep Principle. Unlike traditional evaluations, SDE does not consist of isolated, difficult questions. Instead, it distills 43 research scenarios and a total of 1,125 interrelated tasks from 8 ongoing, real-world research projects with unpublished data.

The article opens by pointing out that the scientific community has long questioned traditional question-and-answer evaluation benchmarks (such as HLE). These tests often focus on obscure or even trivial knowledge points, making it difficult to measure an AI's ability to conduct real scientific research.

Deep Principle Unveils React-OT: Fast, Deterministic Transition State Prediction We’re excited to introduce React-OT, our groundbreaking AI solution for deterministic transition state (TS) generation—now published as the cover article in Nature Machine Intelligence. Engineered for chemists and materials scientists, React-OT tackles the decades-old challenge of efficiently capturing elusive TS structures, which are pivotal to decoding reaction mechanisms and designing next-generation catalysts. The Challenge: TS Search in the Age of Complex Reactions Transition states are the crucial turning points in chemical pathways, serving as the most informative snapshots for understanding reactivity and mechanism. Yet traditional methods—powered by quantum chemistry—are prohibitively slow, demanding extensive computational resources. Machine learning offered hope, yet existing approaches like diffusion models remained stochastic, cumbersome, and inconsistent in accuracy. We needed a deterministic, scalable solution to unlock the full potential of high-throughput reaction exploration. Three Key Advantages: ✅ Blazing Speed: Generates high-accuracy TS structures in 0.4 seconds/reaction—1,000x faster than traditional computational approaches. ✅ Unmatched Precision: Achieves 0.053 Å median structural error and 1.06 kcal mol⁻¹ median barrier height error; pretraining on 950k semi-empirical quantum chemistry computed reactions furthur reduces errors by up to 25%. ✅ Cost-Efficient Workflows: Compatible with low-cost GFN2-xTB geometries, reducing DFT reliance. Paired with uncertainty control, it enables accurate exploration of chemical reaction networks. Why It Matters 💡 Accelerate Discovery: Map complex reaction networks without bottlenecks from costly TS searches. 💡 Drive Innovation: Design better catalysts and unravel unknown mechanisms with confidence in structural and energetic accuracy. 💡 Scale Seamlessly: Integrate into high-throughput pipelines to prioritize expensive DFT only when needed. Join the Future of Chemistry and Material Discover how React-OT is revolutionizing TS prediction for drug discovery, energy research, and materials science. Read the full cover story here and explore how Deep Principle’s AI tools are accelerating scientific breakthroughs. You can also experience the app to explore reaction pathways, visualize transition states, and run predictions in real time. #AIforScience #ChemistryBreakthrough #MachineLearning #CatalystDesign #DeepPrinciple @DeepPrincipleAI | deepprinciple.com
