Lila Sciences is an American company launched publicly in 2025 out of Flagship Pioneering with the aim of building what it calls scientific superintelligence: artificial intelligence systems that generate hypotheses and then test them in the company's own automated laboratories. Its distinguishing feature is the closed loop between model and experiment, since most scientific machine learning is limited by the fact that the data it needs has never been generated. Headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts and funded at an unusually large scale for a company at this stage, it is working across life sciences and materials chemistry rather than committing to a single field.
