MU-3.0 introduces MU-StarSeeker, an agent-managed material discovery workflow automation capable of both cloud and on-premise deployment and purposely built to accelerate scientific research and product development across drones, robotics, energy storage, and mobility. Key advances in MU-3.0 include: 1. MU-StarSeeker, agent-managed material discovery workflow automation MU-StarSeeker transforms Molecular Universe's core workflow features—Ask, Search, Formulate, Design, Predict, and Manufacture—into a Skill-based automation architecture. Users can combine Skills into customized workflow and delegate complex, multi-step workflows to MU-StarSeeker agent that orchestrates the relevant Skills end-to-end. For example, instead of manually searching molecules, testing formulations, evaluating bulk properties, validating cell-level performance, and repeating the process across hundreds of molecules and thousands of formulations, users can launch MU-StarSeeker agent workflow before heading on vacation—and return to a ranked list of 20+ top formulations optimized for their desired cell-level performance based on the feedback from all relevant features. 2. MU-3.0 supports both lithium and sodium chemistries Starting with MU-3.0, all services have been expanded to cover Na-ion. The popular molecular dynamics simulation engine and our proprietary force field in Formulate has been reengineered from the ground up to work just as well for Na-ion as it did for Li-ion, providing robust and accurate property prediction and analysis in a timely manner. 3. Closed-loop dry and wet data through autonomous labs or A-labs MU-3.0 connects computational prediction with experimental validation through integrated dry and wet data workflows. Users can send wet data requests through MU-StarSeeker agent-managed automation to MU's high-throughput autonomous labs or A-labs. For sensitive user data, MU can also provide dry and wet data on-premise through Search-in-a-Lab or Formulate-in-a-Lab where the MU-3.0 Skills are incorporated with a high-performance computer and an A-lab and deployed locally at the user site. 4. Enterprise deployment MU-3.0 is available through both cloud and on-premise deployment, supporting enterprise requirements for scalability, speed, security, and data control. For large enterprise users, MU offers "in-a-box" solutions including Search-in-a-Box, Formulate-in-a-Box, and Predict-in-a-Box.
