Inherent, Founded by DeepMind Alumni, Says Its AI ‘Teammate’ Just Outperformed Anthropic and OpenAI at Replicating Research
London AI lab Inherent, founded by Google DeepMind alumni, says its 27B-parameter AI scientist agent Faraday outperformed Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5 Codex at replicating published research — winning 73% of in-distribution tasks on its new Replica benchmark. This article separates the verified numbers from the framing, explains how the agent and benchmark work, and sets out the caveats around a self-run evaluation.
