FutureHouse Robin: how many tokens per task, and what does it cost?
FutureHouse Robin publishes no per-task cost or token figure in the AgentBurn index. AgentBurn snapshot 2026-10-27. Every figure carries a provenance label: source-backed, derived, or left empty when no public basis exists.
What it is. Multi-agent lab assistant that proposes and validates chemistry hypotheses
Robin orchestrates specialised agents (literature search, hypothesis generation, experiment design and data analysis) over a chemistry knowledge base, then proposes candidate treatments and checks them against assay data. In its published dry-age-related macular degeneration case it identified and validated ripasudil as a candidate in a few days of agent time.

| Generate hypotheses | Proposes candidate mechanisms and molecules | 18% | 20 |
| Rank and design | Scores candidates and designs validation experiments | 24% | 30 |
| Analyse data | Reads assay output and revises the hypothesis | 24% | 38 |
What each number is based on
AgentBurn labels every field. Source-backed means the cited page states the figure; derived means a formula on this page produced it; not published means no public basis exists and the field is left empty rather than estimated.
| Field | Basis | Note |
|---|---|---|
| tokensPerTask | Not published | No usable public source for per-task tokens. |
| costPerTaskUsd | Not published | No usable public source for per-task cost. |
| successRatePct | Not published | No public task success rate. |
| runsPerDay | Not published | No public run volume. |
Frequently asked
How many tokens does FutureHouse Robin use per task?
No public tokens-per-task figure exists for FutureHouse Robin; AgentBurn leaves the field empty rather than estimating it.
What does FutureHouse Robin cost per task?
No public per-task cost exists for FutureHouse Robin, so it is recorded as not published.
Is this a vendor list price?
No. It is a per-task figure from a cited source, not a rate card; the two are not comparable.
