October 7, 2025 — Leads & Copy — SES AI Corporation (NYSE: SES) announced the upcoming unveiling of Molecular Universe 1.0 (MU-1) on October 20, 2025, at The Battery Show – North America. The company also announced the expansion of its subscription offerings and the hiring of a new business development lead.
MU-1 is the company’s latest battery material discovery software and service platform, building a complete end-to-end workflow to accelerate battery material discovery from years to tens of minutes. It offers complete end-to-end material discovery capability, including literature research and solution recommendation (“Ask”), molecule search (“Map” and “Search”), formulation search (“Formulate”), and cell performance prediction (“Predict”).
SES AI has expanded its Enterprise tier, providing greater service at greater value. Molecular Universe has already assisted Enterprise customers with energy storage, drones & robotics, EV, and consumer electronics applications. With the popularity of the Enterprise subscription option, the company is expanding it to three sub-tiers to broaden its reach within the battery industry.
Qichao Hu, Founder and CEO of SES AI, stated that MU-1 is a quantum leap compared to earlier versions, with enhancements to Map, Ask, and Search, and the introduction of Formulate and Predict. These features and new subscription options will accelerate the company’s go-to-market strategy in the battery industry and potential entry into molecule-dependent industries. In addition to revenue opportunities, the Molecular Universe will provide competitive advantages in growing electrolyte materials and battery cell supply strategies.
MU-1 Feature Updates include:
Map: Expanding molecular databases to cover most liquid and solid battery electrolytes, offering a one-million-molecule database fully viewable to the Public, and fully searchable to Research, Explorer and Team tiers, and a 200-million-molecule database fully searchable to Enterprise and Joint Development tiers with more in-depth properties.
Ask: Enhancing Ask performance by integrating the latest GPT-5 models and SES proprietary training data, offering Lightning to the Public, and more advanced Pro and multi-agent Deep Space to Research, Explorer, Team, Enterprise and Joint Development tiers. Deep Space now has senior scientist-level agentic capability to understand users’ queries and recommend full solutions.
Search: Offering “Intelligent Find-Friends” that also takes into account the battery chemistry environment and desired performance for the molecules we are seeking.
Formulate: Venturing beyond the molecular universe, and into the formulation universe, which involves much higher dimensions of complexity, developing advanced computation chemistry tools.
Predict: Exploring the formulation universe and continuing into the cell universe, utilizing AI and machine learning to connect molecule and formulation properties to cell performance.
