Galactica
AIAI for scientific knowledge & research
Overview
Galactica is an AI language model by Meta AI tailored for scientific and technical domains. Trained on vast academic literature, preprints, textbooks, and code, it generates research papers, solves math problems, writes technical code, and summarizes complex concepts. Launched as a free demo to assist researchers and students, it faced criticism for misinformation risks and was later restricted. It remains a key example of domain-specific AI tools aimed at accelerating scientific work despite its limited post-launch availability.
