Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: TEM), a technology company leading the adoption of AI to advance precision medicine, announced the launch of the next-generation of Lens, its pioneering agentic AI platform designed to accelerate drug development and research. This evolution seamlessly connects Tempus’ multimodal data, AI tooling and computational infrastructure to deliver actionable insights at the pace required for drug development.

The next-generation of the Lens platform is built on over a decade of longitudinal real-world data and years of expertise translating that data into actionable evidence for biopharma. Lens combines one of the world's largest real-world multimodal datasets, high-performance AI computing, Tempus’ oncology foundation models, validated AI agents, and scientific workflows, all integrated into a single platform.

The platform was purpose-built to enable drug development teams to design better clinical trials, target patient subgroups faster, and generate critical evidence in a fraction of the time. Lens is commercially available via lens.tempus.ai and is already utilized by a rapidly expanding user base, including 19 of the top 20 largest biopharma companies.

The multi-agent platform is designed to deliver a seamless, end-to-end experience through several specialized tools:

• Custom Research Plan Generation: Lens Co-scientist agents have deep context on the Tempus RWD model and datasets available within a project, and are grounded in oncology knowledge for insight generation. Users can propose complex biological hypotheses using plain language and receive a targeted analysis plan that can be refined seamlessly by collaborating directly with the agent.
• On-Demand Execution: Once a plan is finalized, the agent executes the analysis in code against Tempus’ massive multimodal library—including more than 8.5 million queryable de-identified patient records—to deliver robust, code-backed results in minutes.
• Specialized AI Agents: Custom-validated agents designed to support common use cases of real-world data, such as biomarker validation and trial design support agents, are optimized for specific phases of drug development and translational workflows.
• Reproducible Intelligence: Results are delivered via interactive, shareable applications and reports. For deep validation and full transparency, users can instantly toggle to a “code” view to audit the underlying analytical logic or export the entire project to a private Workspace for further technical extension.

"Drug development requires thousands of pivotal decisions between molecule and approval, and at its core, it is a navigation problem—most paths end in dead studies and wasted capital, which is why the industry needs a fundamentally different approach," said Ryan Fukushima, CEO of Data and Apps at Tempus. "Real-world multimodal data is complex, and turning it into decisions has historically required too much domain and data science expertise, resulting in weeks or months of manual analysis. The next generation of Lens consolidates this workflow into a single platform, with Tempus One serving as a co-scientist that does much of the heavy lifting. We've tuned every layer of the platform to empower biopharma teams to see the optimal development path clearly and make critical decisions faster than ever before."
