REAL AI For Science

We build reliable, efficient, and aligned AI to unlock the next era of scientific discovery.

REAL AI is a research initiative based at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where we unlock the new era of scientific discovery: Artificial Scientific Intelligence.

We believe that the future of scientific intelligence fuses rule-based and data-driven AI. Instead of relying on massive datasets, we design our AI models with a principle-based approach grounded in mathematical rigor, scientific knowledge, multimodal scientific datasets, and generative methods.

Our team combines world-class applied scientists and AI researchers, working together to transform how science is done.
