Confluence Labs is an AI research lab focused on learning efficiently when experiments or labeled data are expensive. It is a research partnership candidate for teams in drug design, materials, hardware or physics—not a general-purpose model vendor with a published product plan.

## What it does

Confluence says its goal is to design effective experiments and learn maximally from limited data. The public launch describes a program-synthesis-driven solver for ARC-AGI-2, where LLMs write code to represent transformations and evaluate candidate solutions. The company reports a 97.9% score at roughly $12 per public-evaluation task and has open-sourced the solver.
