Building the foundational capability for developmental intelligence

We build robotic systems that sustain mammalian 

development externally, paired with AI models that learn to predict how that development unfolds and responds to intervention.

What we believe in

Development is

how biology builds itself.

A single cell becomes a complex organism.

Every biological system, including the brain, emerges from this process. It unfolds over time, shaped by signals and environment.

If we can model development, we gain a new way to understand how biological systems form, fail, and recover.

The problem

Most disease is developmental
but our understanding is incomplete.

Many diseases are failures of development over time.

But drug safety and intervention decisions rely on animal models and short-lived experimental systems that fail before longer term development can occur.

Where biology matters most, over long time horizons, we can’t predict what will happen.

What we built

A platform for long-term, predictive development.

01

Robotic metabolic exchange systems

02

Closed-loop hardware that regulates physiology 

in real time, delivering nutrients, removing waste, 

and controlling gas exchange, to sustain development externally.

03

Model for virtual organisms

04

Dynamical AI models trained on sustained, controlled development that learns how systems evolve and diverge under different conditions.

Together, these allow development to be sustained, perturbed, and predicted

The breakthrough

Sustaining development makes it predictable.

As development advances, metabolic demands rapidly increase.

Most experimental systems fail 

at this point.

By reproducing key aspects of biological metabolic exchange under controlled conditions, we sustained developmentfurther than previously possible and observed it responding predictably to our system.

The AI leap

Development doesn’t follow
a single path.

Most machine learning assumes fixed trajectories. Development explores a structured space of possibilities.

Impact

Our models learn the rules governing how developmental systems change—predicting how futures branch, and which interventions shift a system from one outcome to another.

Closed loop

A system that learns as it experiments.

I.

Sustained development generates data.

II.

Models learn from it.

III.

Predictions guide the next experiments 

in real time.

This turns mammalian development from something we observe after the fact into something we can test and predict.
