Periodic believes that combining AI systems, physical-world simulations, and high-throughput physical experiments in an iterative process produces a different kind of intelligence.

“and you really need this like iterative process and that's our core belief for putting this together and that's why from the very beginning we're like we need to have the AI systems the simulations of the physical world but then also to build up the the physical high throughput experiment and we think a different type of intelligence emerges from that”
