About ADRS

ADRS (AI-Driven Research for Systems) is a UC Berkeley Sky Computing Lab initiative exploring how AI can accelerate scientific discovery. We build systems that leverage large-scale models to automatically design, optimize, and reason about complex algorithms across cloud infrastructure, distributed AI, and more.
