The company will partner with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory on the HERALD project, led by scientists Daniela Ushizima and Peter Nugent. HERALD aims to deploy AI agents to review vast archives of nuclear power research, allowing human security experts to focus on critical judgment calls. Valency will provide the AI agent infrastructure to support hundreds of millions of scientific documents whilst maintaining auditable chains of custody required for DOE compliance. The system uses the Model Context Protocol natively, enabling AI agents to work across the archive whilst keeping human experts in control of final decisions. Valency specialises in foundational infrastructure for AI-accelerated science.
