Before

AI Co-Scientist that automates ML experimentation and analysis.

After

Expert STEM reasoning data for frontier AI labs.

Full description — before

Sciloop is building an AI Co-Scientist that automates experimentation and analysis for machine learning researchers, allowing them to test ideas far faster than today’s tools allow. We are Bilal and Osman, International Physics Olympiad medalists and the only Pakistanis admitted to MIT in our respective years, with several years of hands-on ML research experience inside MIT CSAIL. We have built large-scale training pipelines, worked with terabyte-scale datasets, and seen the research bottleneck firsthand while contributing to scientific ML projects. We left MIT to solve this problem directly and are now building a system that can eventually accelerate scientific discovery itself. https://sciloop.dev

Full description — after

Sciloop creates expert-level math and physics problems that frontier AI models can't solve, then sells the data to AI labs for training and evaluation. Our problems are created by IPhO and IMO medalists — the top 0.01% of STEM talent globally. On our benchmark, models like GPT 5.4 Pro and Gemini 3.1 Pro score 0-5% on our hardest problems. We work with AI labs to supply continuous, fresh training data that pushes the frontier of mathematical and scientific reasoning. Founded by Bilal and Osman, International Physics Olympiad medalists from MIT with hands-on ML research experience at MIT CSAIL.

Summary

Sciloop pivoted from building an AI co-scientist tool for ML researchers to creating and selling expert STEM problem datasets for training frontier AI models - completely different product, customer, and business model.
