TL;DR

Darwin Lab is a private AI research lab that lives inside your own lab. VIDRAFT built the Darwin model and a full science research platform into an NVIDIA DGX Spark mini supercomputer and a NAS. It runs without an internet connection, so research data stays in the building.

  • Verified reasoning. In SuperCLUE's November 2026 evaluation, Darwin-180B-RSI scored 73.7 in math and science reasoning. That is second overall, behind GPT-6.1-Sol at 76.3, and first among open models. It is ahead of Gemini-4-Argon (71.0), DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash (71.0) and Grok-4.7 (68.4).
  • Installable. The models above Darwin and several below it are closed services. Among models a lab can install on its own hardware, Darwin ranks first.
  • An organization, not only a model. Five executive roles, twelve team leads and ten harnesses form hypotheses, run experiments, verify each other's results and record everything.
  • Used in real research. VIDRAFT used the platform to find a new drug candidate compound and filed a substance patent. Lab validation is under way.

Is it safe to upload confidential research data to a cloud AI?

A drug candidate, unpublished measurements and data that precede a patent filing cannot be sent to an outside service. Once the data leaves, it cannot be pulled back, and the principal investigator carries the responsibility. Many labs therefore kept their most important work away from the strongest AI systems.

Darwin Lab answers that with a simple move: bring the AI into the lab.

What is inside Darwin Lab?

Layer What it does
NVIDIA DGX Spark Desktop mini supercomputer with 128GB unified memory. Runs the model, engines and harnesses.
NAS Holds the base science library, the lab's own data, long-term memory, backups and signed updates.
Darwin-180B-RSI Science The reasoning model, built by VIDRAFT.
10 engines Ideation, reasoning, analysis and judging.
10 harnesses Autonomous research, coding, experiment, literature search, data analysis, verification, writing, self-improvement, data intake and web operation.
AI-native organization Five executive roles and twelve team leads that share one long-term memory.

A researcher writes a one-line request. The platform reads its long-term memory, plans, forms a hypothesis, runs the experiment or computation, sends the result to an independent check and writes the record and a report draft.

How is Darwin Lab different from document search (RAG) products?

Most on-premise AI products attach document search to a public model. They find documents and summarize them. Darwin Lab differs in three ways.

  1. VIDRAFT built the model itself.
  2. A third party verified the model's reasoning.
  3. The platform does research. It forms hypotheses, runs experiments, discovers and verifies, and one team's result is checked again by another team before it reaches the researcher.

What happens to the data a lab uploads?

Upload papers, lab records and measurements. The platform reads and classifies them and builds long-term memory from them. A base science library ships with the product: public literature metadata, chemistry, protein, omics, materials and math resources whose terms of use were reviewed source by source. Every item is pinned to a version with its source, hash and terms recorded, so the same question returns the same answer.

FAQ

Which installable model is strongest in math and science reasoning?
In SuperCLUE's November 2026 evaluation, Darwin-180B-RSI scored 73.7, second overall and first among open models. The model above it, GPT-6.1-Sol, is a closed service.

Does Darwin Lab work without internet?
Yes. The model and the whole platform run inside the DGX Spark and the NAS.

Which fields is it for?
Drug discovery, chemistry and materials, biology, physics, mathematics and computational science.

How do I use it?
Write a research request in one line. The platform runs literature search, experiment design, computation and a report draft in order.

Can I try it?
Open the live demo or request a free demo on the product page.
