FutureHouse is a philanthropically funded nonprofit AI research lab co-founded by Sam Rodriques and Andrew White to build and validate AI systems that accelerate scientific discovery, primarily in biology. FutureHouse's Twitter Score is 16 out of 1000 as of September 2026, ranking #62,622 among 487,142 tracked accounts.
FutureHouse was incorporated as a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit independent research organization and is backed by Eric Schmidt, Wendy Schmidt, Open Philanthropy, the National Science Foundation, and the AI Safety Institute. Its work sits at the intersection of large language models and laboratory science, with a focus on semi-autonomous AI agents capable of conducting and interpreting research.
FutureHouse has developed a range of AI tools and benchmarks for scientific research, including PaperQA2, Aviary, ChemCrow, ether0, LAB-Bench, BixBench, Robin, and Kosmos. One notable result from this work is that its AI agent Robin identified the existing glaucoma drug ripasudil as a candidate therapy for dry age-related macular degeneration, completing that process in roughly two and a half months. In 2025, Edison Scientific spun out of FutureHouse as an independent for-profit company to commercialize AI tools originally developed under the FutureHouse umbrella. FutureHouse also maintains an affiliation with Anthropic.
FutureHouse has published 126 posts on the platform and has been mentioned by 15 accounts a total of 20 times, reflecting ongoing attention from the AI and scientific research communities.
