Chinese Academy of Sciences CAS unveils AI model system for scientific research

https://english.news.cn/20260428/7a15ec68696c49509b0c2ef9bdaefdc2/c.html

The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) on Tuesday revealed an artificial intelligence (AI) model system supporting scientific research, empowering multiple scientific domains including mathematics, physics and biology. This marks a transition in AI-driven scientific research  toward collaborative, efficient and platform-based innovation.

Named ScienceOne 100, the model system has been built on the basis of the scientific foundation model ScienceOne, a LLM released in 2025. ScienceOne provides three core functions, empowering the entire research and innovation workflow:

  • literature compass,
  • innovation evaluation and
  • agent factory

Literature compass provides in-depth literature reading and autonomous review writing as its core functions, enhancing the work efficiency of researchers.

Innovation evaluation can perceive cutting-edge dynamics in the scientific community and industry, helping researchers efficiently identify key scientific problems and potential innovation directions.

The agent factory has achieved autonomous closed-loop agent toolchains and intelligent assisted generation, offering over 2,000 research tools and supporting more than 10 research domains.

The model system currently comprises eight domain-specific large models, covering mathematics, physics, materials science, astronomy, environmental science, aerospace, geosciences and biology. The system has already been deployed and applied across over 50 CAS institutes, covering more than 100 research scenarios. It has demonstrated tremendous potential in typical applications such as high-speed rail flow field reconstruction, spectral identification, materials discovery, adjuvant design, astronomical observation, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau scientific expedition, marine forecasting and ecological research.
