Figure 1. Schematic illustration of CRESt, which utilizes an LVLM-powered agentic AI system to embed diverse information (such as literature text, microstructural images, and experimental spectra) into a reduced search space, couple it to active learning, and further streamlines high-throughput synthesis, characterization, and tests for catalyst discovery. CRESt: Copilot for Real-world Experimental Scientists; LVLM: large vision-language model.
