Press releases
October 2025 - Asta DataVoyager
We launched Asta DataVoyager, a powerful data analysis AI agent within the Asta ecosystem. Scientists across disciplines face an abundance of structured data but lack intuitive tools to efficiently transform it into meaningful answers. With Asta DataVoyager, researchers can upload datasets and ask questions in plain language, receiving trustworthy, reproducible outputs that combine statistical rigor with usability.
August 2025 - Asta
We launched Asta, an integrated, open ecosystem designed to transform how science is done with AI agents. At a time when AI tools are flooding the research landscape – often opaque, untested, and unproven – Asta offers a principled alternative: a comprehensive collection that includes an agentic AI research assistant, the first rigorous benchmark suite for scientific agents, and a set of developer resources for building trustworthy tools.
August 2025 - MolmoAct
We launched MolmoAct, a breakthrough embodied AI model that brings the intelligence of state of the art AI models into the physical world. Instead of reasoning through language and converting that into movement, MolmoAct actually sees its surroundings, understands the relationships between space, movement and time, and plans its movements accordingly.
