Asta
Asta unites three pillars for scientific AI: Asta agents that aid researchers with complex tasks, AstaBench sets rigorous benchmarks for any agent, and Asta resources provides tools and standards for building and testing.
Asta agents
Agentic research assistants to help you accomplish your most difficult scholarly research tasks.
Asta resources
A set of tools, baseline agents, templates, and APIs for developers to build, test, and refine scientific AI agents.
For Researchers
Asta is built to mirror how scientific research is actually done—helping frame research questions, trace ideas to evidence, and clarify what’s established or still unresolved in a field. AstaBench ensures these agents are evaluated against real-world tasks, building trust and scientific rigor.
For AI Developers
AstaBench and Asta resources provide a complete agent evaluation environment and tools to facilitate the creation of production-ready, state-of-the-art agents. AstaBench offers leaderboards and real-world benchmarks that make it easy to test, compare, and iterate on AI agents.
"Ai2's Asta ecosystem of AI agents, benchmarks, and tools … is poised to accelerate the path from hunch to insight, transforming how we navigate and the vast landscape of scientific understanding."
