ether0
ether0 is a model family from FutureHouse134, with 1 assessed release in this catalog. Licenses and availability are recorded for each release, not for the family; its releases use the Apache License 2.0.
ether0 is a 24B-parameter chemistry reasoning model from FutureHouse, released in June 2025. It reasons in English and answers with molecular structures written as SMILES. It was fine-tuned and trained with reinforcement learning from Mistral AI's Mistral-Small-24B-Instruct-2501.142

What it is useful for
The model card lists molecule-design and prediction tasks it was trained for, including IUPAC name or formula to SMILES, adjusting solubility, pKa, or scent, ADME and toxicity properties, one-step retrosynthesis, reaction outcome prediction, and molecule captioning in reverse. The card says it is not a general-purpose chat model.1
Organization context
U.S. eligibility
Eligible · basis: U.S.-governed project
ether0 is published by FutureHouse on its Hugging Face and GitHub organizations, and the model card states a 2025 FutureHouse copyright. FutureHouse is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in San Francisco per its about page and the IRS exempt-organization extract. The base model, Mistral-Small-24B-Instruct-2501, comes from Mistral AI and is recorded as provenance on the release record, not as a U.S. model.1356
