WOBURN, Mass. - SES AI Corporation (NYSE:SES), a battery technology company with a market capitalization of $324.59 million, released a new version of its battery research platform, Molecular Universe 0.5, featuring a new capability called "Deep Space" designed to conduct senior scientist-level battery research, according to a press release issued Wednesday. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains impressive gross profit margins of 74.62% and holds more cash than debt on its balance sheet.
The Deep Space feature uses a multi-agent model to analyze battery questions and provide detailed responses in 10 to 20 minutes, compared to what the company describes as 6 to 8 years with human scientists. The tool is intended to accelerate commercial product development for battery manufacturers.
"Two months after its original release, Molecular Universe has quickly become a popular and powerful tool for battery researchers in companies, national labs, and universities around the world," said Dr. Qichao Hu, Founder and CEO of SES AI.
The updated platform includes a molecule sketch pad and adds support for Mandarin and Korean languages. While the standard "Ask" feature typically returns answers in about 30 seconds, Deep Space queries can take up to 20 minutes to process due to the more intensive computational requirements.
SES AI indicated the new Deep Space capability is primarily targeted at battery makers, electrolyte and cathode materials producers, and automakers. The company claims the tool can recommend electrolyte formulations for different cell chemistries ranked by performance, novelty, or cost.
The company positions the platform as a way for customers to potentially reduce costs by avoiding patent filings, material and equipment expenses in trial-and-error processes, and reduced R&D hiring needs.
SES AI develops and manufactures AI-enhanced Li-Metal and Li-ion batteries, with operations in Boston, Singapore, Shanghai, and Seoul. The company maintains a strong liquidity position with a current ratio of 15.61, though InvestingPro analysis indicates the company’s overall financial health score remains weak as it continues to invest in growth initiatives.

The company also posted an earnings per share (EPS) of -$0.04, better than the expected -$0.05, indicating a positive earnings surprise. SES AI maintains a strong cash position of $240 million with no debt, which supports its strategic initiatives. The company launched a new software platform, "Molecular Universe," aimed at enhancing its battery technology offerings. Cantor Fitzgerald has maintained an Overweight rating on SES AI with a $2.00 price target, reflecting a positive outlook on the company’s future revenue growth. The firm’s analysis considers the company’s battery products and service segments, alongside SES’s net cash position. These developments indicate that SES AI is positioning itself for growth in the competitive EV battery market. The company has provided a full-year 2025 revenue guidance of $15-25 million, with expectations to end the year with over $200 million in liquidity.
