The Fedus company will compete with Google DeepMind, Microsoft and others in the emerging AI Materials Science Space. In 2023, DeepMind claimed his AI system, gnome, Crystals found that can be used to make new materials. More recently Microsoft revealed a few materials-discovered AI tools called Mattergen and Mattertersim.
