Bohrium (玻尔) is a research cloud platform built by DP Technology. Its documentation calls it the Bohrium research space station. Everything below comes from official Bohrium pages.
- Academic search and alerts
- The official site says it covers more than 140,000 journals and over 20 million scholars across 26 disciplines. Users can follow keywords, journals or scholars and receive daily updates with AI summaries.
- Scientific computing
- DP Technology states one million CPU cores and 10,000 GPUs. Jobs are submitted from the web or the command line and billed by resource time.
- Preinstalled software
- LAMMPS, DMFF, ABACUS and DP Technology's DeePMD-kit come preinstalled. The focus is first-principles calculation and molecular dynamics.
- Scientific models
- Users can work with scientific foundation models such as DPA, Uni-Mol, Uni-RNA and Uni-Fold.
- Agents
- The Bohrium CLI calls the SciMaster paper agent and an AI science mentor. SciMaster has a public arXiv paper.

Evaluate Bohrium first
- You need academic search and alerts by keyword, journal or scholar
- You run large parallel computing jobs on CPU and GPU clusters
- Your research depends on DeePMD-kit, ABACUS, Uni-Mol or other software and models preinstalled on Bohrium
- Your team shares images, allocates budgets and pays in RMB
Evaluate Scientify first
- You want one agent to carry a project from question to literature, code, experiments and report
- You do not want to write job scripts, manage nodes or install dependencies
- Tasks run for days and must continue after you close your computer
- You need adversarial review of results and parallel exploration of several hypotheses
A dedicated scientific agent for long-horizon exploration
Scientify's scientific agent organizes search strategies around a research goal, attempts to retrieve full-text PDFs, forms hypotheses, writes code, and runs experiments. It advances the next iteration from intermediate results until the project produces research progress or a result. The core agent is open source with 2k+ Stars on Github. Its paper was selected for ICML 2026.
- Literature research
- Organize search strategies, attempt full-text PDF retrieval, and preserve sources and evidence
- Experiments
- Write code, run commands, analyze data, and produce inspectable figures and results
- Cloud execution
- Keep tasks running after the laptop closes and reopen the same workspace from a phone
- Open evidence
- The core agent is open source with 2k+ Stars on Github, and its paper was selected for ICML 2026
Research lifecycle
Bohrium gathers literature, compute, software and models in one platform that a researcher or an agent calls step by step. Scientify's agent works inside a persistent cloud computer, decides the next step and keeps every material.
Literature search and reading
Bohrium
The official site says it covers more than 140,000 journals and over 20 million scholars. It offers alerts, daily updates and AI summaries. Files from chats are filed into a personal knowledge base.
Scientify
The agent organizes its own search strategy around the project, tries to download full-text PDFs and saves papers, sources and evidence in the workspace.
Current finding
Choose Bohrium to follow journals and scholars day to day. Choose Scientify for open-ended search that continues into execution.
Compute and runtime
Bohrium
DP Technology states one million CPU cores and 10,000 GPUs. Users submit jobs from the web or the command line, or open nodes for remote debugging.
Scientify
Each user has a persistent cloud computer. The agent rents GPUs per task after the user authorizes it, billed per second and released when finished. It can also connect to your own servers over SSH.
Current finding
Choose Bohrium for large parallel jobs. Choose Scientify for on-demand GPUs inside one project, managed by the agent.
Scientific software and models
Bohrium
LAMMPS, DMFF, ABACUS and DeePMD-kit come preinstalled, along with scientific models such as DPA, Uni-Mol, Uni-RNA and Uni-Fold.
Scientify
GROMACS, LAMMPS, OpenMM, ColabFold with AlphaFold2 weights, Scanpy and common research databases are preinstalled by field and self-tested on GPU before delivery.
Current finding
Choose Bohrium for DeePMD-kit, Uni-Mol and other preinstalled software and models. Choose Scientify when the agent should run biomolecular simulation, structure prediction or single-cell analysis directly.
Agents and automation
Bohrium
The Bohrium CLI calls the SciMaster paper agent and the AI science mentor. The CLI describes a dry-run, confirm, execute flow and asks the user before any paid command.
Scientify
One scientific agent searches the literature, forms hypotheses, writes code, runs experiments and iterates. Mandatory adversarial review checks whether the task is truly done, and parallel sub-agents explore several hypotheses at once.
Current finding
Choose the Bohrium CLI when the workflow is fixed and you want to confirm each step. Choose Scientify when the agent should drive the whole project.
Long tasks and quotas
Bohrium
Nodes and notebooks are billed by time once started. The quota page allows one self-created project per user, two nodes per user in each project and 100 concurrent jobs.
Scientify
The cloud computer runs while a task is active and pauses with its state kept when the user and agent are idle. Tasks continue after you close your computer, and you can enter the same workspace from a phone.
Current finding
Choose Bohrium for batch job submission. Choose Scientify for projects that wait on human decisions and run for days.
Billing
Bohrium
Accounts are topped up in RMB through Alipay, WeChat or PayPal. Machine time is billed in RMB per hour by instance type. Paper search, PDF parsing and the AI mentor deduct photons per call.
Scientify
One credit equals USD 1 of standard API usage at provider list prices. Models and compute draw from the same balance.
Current finding
Both are usage based. Bohrium prices machine time and per-call actions separately; Scientify combines models and compute in one credit balance.
Pricing and usage
These products use subscriptions, seats, credits, workflow quotas, or product bundles. The table records the main public individual tiers and the limits that affect research work.
Scientify

What is Bohrium?
Bohrium is a research cloud platform built by DP Technology. It provides academic search and alerts, CPU and GPU compute, preinstalled scientific software, scientific models such as DPA and Uni-Mol, the SciMaster paper agent and an AI science mentor.
Is Bohrium free?
Some features are free. Notebook includes a free 2-core, 4 GB CPU node, and scholar search, web search and scientific database commands are free. Compute jobs and development nodes are billed in RMB per hour by instance type. Paper search starts at 5 photons per call and the AI mentor costs 200 photons per session.
Can I use Bohrium and Scientify together?
Yes, by splitting the work. Use Bohrium for literature search, journal alerts or large jobs built on DeePMD-kit and ABACUS. Give Scientify the projects that need an agent to keep working for days.
When is Scientify a Bohrium alternative?
Evaluate Scientify when you need one agent to go from a research question to literature, code, experiments and a report, without managing nodes, job scripts or dependencies yourself.
