Inherent, a London AI lab founded by Google DeepMind alumni, says its AI agent just outperformed much larger models from Anthropic and OpenAI using a fraction of the size.
Inherent, a London-based AI lab founded by Google DeepMind alumni, has developed an AI agent called Faraday. The company secured $50 million in seed funding and claims that Faraday outperforms larger models from Anthropic and OpenAI at reproducing research paper findings.
According to Inherent's cofounder and chief scientist Edward Hughes, Faraday achieved this using a fraction of the size of the larger models. Reproducing research paper findings is a standard task for human scientists, with many PhD students starting with this exercise.
Inherent says Faraday beat GPT-5.5 at this task, as reported by TechCrunch.
