What DP Technology does

DP Technology (Beijing Deep Potential Technology Co., Ltd., 深势科技) is a private AI for Science company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Haidian, Beijing. The company builds AI-native scientific discovery infrastructure, anchored by its proprietary Deep Potential molecular dynamics models and the 深势·宇知 (DP Scientific Discovery Intelligence Engine). It serves scientists and R&D organizations in life sciences (drug design, hit discovery, molecular computation), materials science (new energy, batteries, advanced materials), and academic research (chemistry, physics, biology) across China and North America.

Its product architecture follows a platform-plus-modules model. The Bohrium (玻尔) ecosystem functions as the connective layer, providing scientific navigation, a journal library, and access to 20M+ active global scholars, while Lebesgue (勒贝格智算) handles intelligent computing and Uni-Lab (跃迁实验室) integrates software with laboratory hardware. On top of this platform, the company sells specialized applications: Hermite for drug computation, RiDYMO for high-quality hit discovery, Piloteye for materials science R&D, and SciMaster as a scientific AI agent. Compute orchestration is delivered through Nodes, Workspace, and Jobs, supporting elastic heterogeneous computing at the "大装置" (large-scale scientific facility) layer.

The business model combines recurring SaaS subscriptions (Bohrium platform access), enterprise AI solutions (customized for pharma and materials organizations), and project-based R&D services. The company is sales-led with dedicated business development, investor relations, and HR channels, supported by a hybrid distribution approach that pairs direct enterprise sales with self-serve platform access. Operating geographies span Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Yibin in China, with a US subsidiary (Atombeat Inc., Jersey City, NJ) handling North American enterprise coverage. As of late 2025, the company has 101–250 employees and has raised over US$250 million cumulatively, including a US$114 million Series C in December 2025.

Core offering

DP Technology builds an AI for Science platform that combines molecular simulation, scientific AI models, and laboratory automation to serve life sciences, materials science, and chemistry R&D. Its offerings include the Bohrium scientific navigation workspace, the Hermite drug design platform, the RiDYMO hit discovery platform, Piloteye for materials science, and the Uni-Lab laboratory integration system.

Product overview

DP Technology operates as a unified platform-plus-modules architecture built on its proprietary 深势·宇知® (DP Scientific Discovery Intelligence Engine) as the foundational layer. The platform provides a Science as a Service intelligent research product and service matrix comprising 'reading documents, doing calculations, doing experiments' tools. The core Bohrium ecosystem includes 玻尔·科学导航 (Bohrium) for scientific navigation, 玻尔·勒贝格智算 for intelligent computing, and 玻尔·跃迁实验室 (Bohrium Transition Lab) for laboratory integration. Specialized applications include Hermite® for drug calculation, RiDYMO® for Hit discovery, and Piloteye® for materials science R&D. The SciMaster scientific AI agent system and supporting infrastructure (Uni-Lab, Jobs, Workspace, Nodes) complete the platform for fundamental research, life sciences, and materials science applications.
