Aster is developing autonomous research systems that aim to automate open ended scientific discovery. Unlike current systems that rely on benchmarkable goals, Aster's technology is designed to explore novel knowledge without predefined targets. The company has demonstrated results across three benchmarks: Andrej Karpathy's NanoChat, ProteinGym, and the NanoGPT speedrun. They have also scaled autonomous research to handle millions of tokens per second in experimentation.
