RESEARCH WORKFLOW DATA, LICENSED

The science behind the paper.

Papers show the result. Labtrace licenses everything that came before it — code history, notebooks, failed runs, and the lab discussion behind each decision — to teams building AI that does real research.

Partner your lab Request data access

AI models have read the papers. They have never seen the work.

WHAT GETS PUBLISHED

  • Final figures and clean methods
  • Positive results
  • Code tidied up for release, if released at all

WHAT LABTRACE LICENSES

  • Full commit history, including dead-end branches
  • Failed runs, job logs, and the debugging around them
  • Analysis notebooks and abandoned projects
  • The discussion of why each choice was made

FOR RESEARCH GROUPS

Fund your group from work you've already done.

Past and abandoned projects are sitting in your repos and Slack. We turn them into licensing revenue that goes to your group, without touching your publication priority.

01

Everyone consents

Every student, postdoc, and PI in the data signs off. Anyone who opts out is removed.

02

Licensed properly

We handle the agreement with your tech transfer office, on terms that respect funder rules.

03

Delivered after publication

Nothing leaves before your paper is out. Personal details are stripped first.

04

Your group gets paid

Licensing revenue can fund students, postdocs, and compute.

FOR AI TEAMS

Training data for agents that do science.

Real research trajectories from university groups — rights-cleared, consented, and documented — starting with computational physics and astrophysics.

  • Code, notebooks, and discussion linked together, so models see why, not just what
  • Failures and dead ends, not only successes
  • Documented consent and university licensing for every dataset
  • Delivered in a consistent, documented format

ABOUT

Built from inside the lab.

Labtrace was founded by Nezir Alic, a physics PhD researcher who runs GRMHD simulations of black hole accretion on national supercomputers, and a Caltech alum.

Years of failed runs, debugging threads, and abandoned analyses made one thing clear: the most instructive part of science never leaves the lab. Labtrace exists to change that, with the people who did the work in control.
