Welcome @rohantalwadia, Co-Founder of LabGPT, to Forbes Technology Council! Excited for the innovation and tech leadership insights Rohan will bring to our community. hubs.li/Q04cXvkS0

Holy Blue (holy.blue) on @FranceTV We're getting closer living a longer, healthier life. @Prosperahn @RohanTalwadia

Why LabGPT? Think about it: if you want to build a new app, a new AI, or a new blockchain, you can do that right from your desk. We all have computers, and we can all build software on them. But if you want to create affordable flying cars, where do you go to experiment? Most of us don’t have access to expensive labs or heavy machinery, and we aren't all at Ivy League universities. Even if you did have the access, there is a significant skill barrier. Most people don't know which chemicals to use or how to safely operate complex laboratory equipment. LabGPT breaks down both of these barriers. For a monthly subscription fee, you can conduct experiments in a physical lab from the comfort of your home just by talking to our AI. You don’t need to be an expert in robotics or chemistry; LabGPT’s AI guides you through the process, operating the machinery and handling the science in a real-world environment.

I feel there are far too few companies working to automate scientific discovery. We need to create a complete pipeline—from basic research to applied engineering and final commercialization. Because science is so vast, one company might focus on a single niche, but the topics are truly infinite. Whether it is biology, chemistry, or physics, etc. there is an endless amount of work to automate across every engineering field—mechanical, civil, bio-tech, and beyond. The possibilities on this side of the industry are limitless. All of these tools must be democratized. I don’t see others in this space as "competition" for LabGPT because there is simply too much to do. These breakthroughs can be incredibly "profitable"—not just in terms of money, but in how they revolutionize the way humans live. Since the possibilities are endless, it is vital to put these combinations into the hands of every human. This will allow the world to flourish with new inventions and products that make life amazing.

2/ Rohan / LabGPT🧪 @RohanTalwadia is building LabGPT (labgpt.com) — an open-source platform that turns plain text prompts into real experiments running in physical labs. No expensive equipment. No pipetting skills required. AI agents handle protocol design and bench work for you. Early builders can claim up to $3K in lab credits just for engaging with the repo. 👇 github.com/LabGPT-science…

The only real barrier to innovation is human nature. Optimism for the future is the only way forward, yet we let ego, personal grudges, and a lack of cooperation hold us back. The mission remains: Stay grounded, stay calm, and keep building the things that make the world a better place.

Today we decided to make LabGPT’s code opensource, so anyone with the compute can run experiments virtually. But if you want to run experiment in a real physical lab, I am giving 3k USD worth of credits and early internal access of LabGPT’s Platform All you have to do is Fork and Star - github.com/LabGPT-science…

Apologies, this post was supposed to go live 15 days ago.

We're partnering with world-class labs, and hire the best minds in Bio, Physics, and ML. The era of the "Autonomous Lab" is here.

Big news: LabGPT has raised $50M to build the future of autonomous discovery. 🚀 Science is too slow. Human researchers are bottlenecked by data silos and manual labor. We’re changing that by deploying AI agents that don’t just assist—they lead. Here’s how we’re automating the next century of breakthroughs. 👇

The Hardware Renaissance: Unleashing LabGPT The Software Paradox We live in an era of digital miracles. In just a few decades, we have moved from the simplicity of "Hello World" to the profound complexity of Artificial Intelligence. Today, it feels as though intelligence is "solved"—or at least, we are perfecting it every single day. The most incredible part of this revolution isn't just the tech; it’s the access. A twelve-year-old with a laptop can build a world-changing app in their bedroom. Software has become the great equalizer because the infrastructure is invisible, accessible, and immediate. The Hardware Gap But look at the world of hardware. Look at the physical world of discovery and invention. We are still lagging. While software moves at the speed of light, hardware still moves at the speed of bureaucracy and high-cost manufacturing. Why can’t a twelve-year-old in a garage build a revolutionary new engine or a breakthrough medical device as easily as they write code? Currently, they are limited to 3D-printing plastic toys. I’m not talking about toys. I’m talking about real inventions. I’m talking about the kind of breakthroughs that shift the trajectory of human history. Introducing LabGPT: Discovery, Invention, InnovationThis is why I am building LabGPT. It is not just a tool for automating lab work. It is a "Holding Engine" for human evolution. LabGPT is designed to close the gap between the screen and the machine by mastering the entire lifecycle of creation: Discovery: Uncovering the fundamental laws of nature that we haven’t yet seen. Invention: Taking those laws and manifesting them into a physical reality for the first time. Innovation: Refining that invention, making it better, faster, and accessible to the masses. A Global FusionMy vision for LabGPT is the "California plus China" of technology. It combines the world-class design and AI-driven intelligence of Silicon Valley with the unparalleled manufacturing speed and hardware scale of China. When you marry the best of software intelligence with the best of hardware execution, you create something the world has never seen. The True Engine of EvolutionWe are going to give every child the power to be an explorer of the physical world. We are going to turn every garage into a high-tech laboratory. LabGPT isn't just a platform; it’s the catalyst for the next stage of our species. We’ve solved intelligence. Now, it’s time to solve the world itself. Let’s change the way we live. Let’s build the future, one atom at a time.
