# About: Talaria Scientific

> Who is building Talaria Scientific and why: the founder's background, the Distributional lineage, and the thesis.

I'm [Scott Clark](https://scottclark.io). I've spent my career building optimization and AI tools for experts [building on the frontier](https://talariasci.com/blog/no-free-lunch-bitter-lesson) as a founder of SigOpt, VP of AI and HPC at Intel, and founder of [Distributional](https://distributional.com).

Talaria Scientific is [Distributional's next chapter](https://distributional.com/blog/distributional-is-now-talaria). We can now meaningfully accelerate science with AI. And that is what we aim to do with a multi-agent, multi-FM harness for computational science research acceleration.

## The manifesto

[Why I'm building Talaria Scientific](https://talariasci.com/blog/why-im-building-talaria): validation, not ideas, bottlenecks computational science. Talaria is a multi-agent harness that takes the schlep (the coding, the environments, the HPC runs, the record-keeping) while the scientist keeps the science.
