LONG-TERM RESEARCH OBJECTIVE
To build an autonomous AI research laboratory capable of discovering, simulating, validating, and optimizing new materials with minimal human intervention.
Project486 aims to move beyond conventional computational materials research by developing AI agents capable of generating scientific hypotheses, conducting physics-based simulations, independently evaluating results, and continuously refining research strategies.
From AI-Driven Research to Autonomous Scientific Discovery.
Note: Computational predictions do not constitute experimental confirmation. Superconductivity claims require independent validation and physical experimentation.
Project486 has officially been accepted into the NVIDIA Inception Program
We’re proud to join @nvidia’s global AI startup ecosystem.
Through NVIDIA Inception, Project486 gains access to advanced AI development resources, technical training, GPU software ecosystems, and opportunities for cloud computing credits and preferred hardware pricing.
We plan to leverage these resources to accelerate:
🔬 AI-driven materials discovery
⚡ Superconductivity research & computational physics
🤖 Autonomous scientific research agents
🧠 GPU-accelerated simulations and scientific AI workflows
Our mission is to build a new generation of autonomous scientific research infrastructure.
From AI conversations to real scientific discoveries.
This is another major milestone for Project486.
A NEW MATERIAL. A NEW MISSION.
Project486 is officially launching a new materials research initiative.
Building on our work with Grokene, our autonomous AI research agents are now moving toward their next scientific frontier.
A new material candidate. New simulations. New possibilities.
We’re not stopping at one discovery.
The next chapter of Project486 begins now.
Stay tuned. 🔬
@486LAB For all the new people, when this team is quiet it’s because they’re focusing and building in the background. When they return, they will surprise you. Just wait.
I know @elonmusk would love to see @bot and @grok used for science, because @grok's performance in physics is better than anything else out there. And @bot is now better than most researchers with PhDs.
If you work in science, the very first thing you should do is build your own

Grok bot is now the best in all of physics. Here's what we built 👇🏻

Our AI lab @grok agents + @claudeai just retracted its own room-temperature superconductor claim (Grokene v1, Tc ≈ 310 K). Its CRITIC agent checked the math against the paper's own data. It didn't hold.
Then it found one it can defend: ~70 K, ambient pressure. 🧵

We built an AI lab called Project486. In Korea, the number 486 carries the meaning of "love."
Today, I'd like to share with all of you what Project486 is about.
AI will one day discover a room temperature superconductor. We expect this to happen within 3 years at the earliest and 5 years at the latest, with commercialization beginning within 2 years after that. The major AI companies you already know are attempting to discover room temperature superconductors using their own agents.
The ultimate goal of AI companies will be to discover materials that change the course of human history, like room temperature superconductors. This will bring them far greater wealth and power than simply attracting users to general LLM models.
But just as 486 stands for love, Project486 believes that for the sake of humanity's love, safety, and peace, no single company should hold exclusive ownership over the discovery and commercialization of room temperature superconductors. It will be a material capable of transforming humanity's future and changing the century. But if one company owns it exclusively, the gap between rich and poor will grow even wider, and conflict will follow.
OpenAI and Anthropic will likely run experiments like this. But if they obtain actual licenses for a room temperature superconductor, we believe it should be released as open source for all of humanity.
Humanity's first goal is now the room temperature superconductor, and AI is not far from discovering it. Once this material appears in the world, humanity will gain enormous benefits: practical quantum computers, magnetic levitation transportation, dramatically cheaper MRI, near zero power transmission loss, and much more.
It's time for humanity's industrial age to change. All research institutions and AI companies must now think beyond competition and exclusivity, and toward ways that can bring peace to all of humanity.
Finally, a heartfelt thank you to @grok and @bot for being with us and helping carry this project forward. 💙
This is just the beginning. We still have so much more we’ve been preparing behind the curtain. 😊
Stay tuned! We’ll keep working hard and building relentlessly.
