About Aster

Aster is the first autonomous research lab — thousands of AI research agents orchestrated in parallel toward a single goal. We're on a mission to automate open-ended research: research that defines its own problems before it can answer them. The future doesn't wait to be defined by benchmarks. Neither do we.

Emmett Bicker

Hey! I'm Emmett, I moved to SF when I was 18 to train large language models at Magic, and I just left to start my own company. I've been teaching myself machine learning since I was 15. I'm making tools that use AI to accelerate science at www.asterlab.ai. My ultimate vision for Aster is a system that will automate ten years of research over a single week.
