Chinese Academy of Sciences unveils AI model system for scientific research

The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) on Tuesday revealed an artificial intelligence (AI) model system supporting scientific research, empowering multiple scientific domains including mathematics, physics and biology.

This marks a transition in AI-driven scientific research from fragmented and isolated exploration toward collaborative, efficient and platform-based innovation.

Named ScienceOne 100, the model system has been built on the basis of the scientific foundation model ScienceOne, with a cluster of multidisciplinary domain-specific large models.

ScienceOne provides three core functions: literature compass, innovation evaluation and agent factory, empowering the entire research and innovation workflow.

ScienceOne was released in 2025 and trained on professional scientific corpus and data. Its latest version has achieved flagship-level performance for scientific knowledge and agentic long-horizon reasoning, and has attained state-of-the-art results in terms of multiple benchmarks related to scientific image understanding and manipulation.

The model system currently comprises eight domain-specific large models, covering mathematics, physics, materials science, astronomy, environmental science, aerospace, geosciences and biology.

Zeng Dajun, deputy director of the Institute of Automation at CAS, cited the system's application in materials design as an example.

"In the design of various materials, catalyst design is a critical step. In the past, developing a new catalyst was highly time-consuming, requiring extensive literature review and numerous experiments. Now, with the ScienceOne 100 model system, research efficiency can be boosted by dozens of times," said Zeng.

The system has already been deployed and applied across over 50 CAS institutes, covering more than 100 research scenarios.

It has demonstrated tremendous potential in typical applications such as high-speed rail flow field reconstruction, spectral identification, materials discovery, adjuvant design, astronomical observation, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau scientific expedition, marine forecasting and ecological research.

A promotional event for the English edition of the fifth volume of "Xi Jinping: The Governance of China" was held in Jakarta, Indonesia on Tuesday.

Participants at the event said the fifth volume reflects the latest achievements in the development of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and serves as an authoritative work for the international community to understand contemporary China.

China has embarked on a new journey under its 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030), while Indonesia is steadily advancing toward its Golden Indonesia 2045 vision. By strengthening strategic synergy and deepening development cooperation, the two countries will not only deliver tangible benefits to their people, but also inject strong momentum into the growth of the Global South and the improvement of the global governance system, they said.

At the event, the Chinese side presented copies of the book to Indonesian guests.

Experts and scholars exchanged views on topics including opportunities under China's 15th Five-Year Plan, common modernization and poverty alleviation experience.

Representatives from a training program for Indonesian village officials shared their experiences of studying and engaging in exchanges in China, as well as how they have applied what they learned from China to village governance.

The event was jointly organized by the State Council Information Office of China, the China International Communications Group, and the Chinese Embassy in Indonesia.

About 200 participants from China and Indonesia, including representatives from the publishing sector, think tanks and media, attended the event.
