Shodh AI Develops LUCAN Model to Link Molecular Research with Manufacturing Scale
Shodh AI, supported by the Government of India's IndiaAI Mission, has developed LUCAN, a Physical AI foundation model designed to bridge the gap between molecular research and large-scale manufacturing. Founded by Dr. Arastu Sharma, the model aims to address challenges in scaling processes from laboratory to industrial production by reasoning across molecular behavior, materials, process conditions, and equipment. The government continues to back efforts to expand LUCAN's training and scientific computing capabilities to accelerate innovation in key industries.
