On March 1, the Shanghai Academy of AI for Science and Fudan University unveiled an upgraded version of the "NovaInspire: Scientist-Centered AI Open Platform", debuting its core achievement — the scientific partner "Dasheng".
Dasheng, also known as the Monkey King, is a system-level scientific AI agent that integrates multimodal foundation models, long-term, multi-threaded collective memory, expert-level scientific "skills", self-driving laboratories, and a secure and trustworthy framework. This highly autonomous agent is continuously evolving to tackle real-world scientific challenges, driving a paradigm shift in research.
