Modelpedia is an automated, LLM-assisted framework that extracts and organizes findings about AI models from published papers into a searchable public catalog. It links each finding to the relevant model, dataset, method, and concept, and has already extracted over a thousand findings from ICLR 2024 and 2025 papers. The authors invite the community to explore, contribute to, and build on this open catalog, positioning model findings as a shared foundation for the meta‑science of AI.
The paper "AI in Science: Early Insights" analyzes AI’s impact on scientific work using data from 15 million Gemini interactions, 2,600 specialized AI models, and a survey of 600 scientists. It finds widespread AI adoption, complementary use of large language models and specialized tools, significant productivity gains of about seven hours per week, and a shift in research bottlenecks toward hypothesis backlog and verification needs. The study suggests AI can boost scientific productivity but its full effect depends on addressing new downstream challenges.

arXiv:2509. 23426v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: AI scientists are emerging computational systems that serve as collaborative partners in discovery.
The article discusses how the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is transforming chemical engineering by influencing problem formulation, analysis, and solution across a wide range of applications, from atomic-scale simulations to industrial operations. It highlights recent methodological advances and representative uses, noting a shift from purely black-box models to hybrid and physics-informed frameworks that incorporate conservation laws, thermodynamic consistency, and structural constraints. These integrated approaches enhance robustness, reliability, and human-AI collaboration, ultimately amplifying rather than replacing core chemical engineering principles.
The Perspective reviews the rapid growth of agentic AI systems in computational chemistry, noting an increase from a handful in 2024 to about fifty by August 2026. These systems are evolving from assisting with specific tasks to autonomously designing, executing, and analyzing in‑silico experiments, even drafting manuscripts. While fully autonomous AI scientists are not yet realized and human oversight remains, the trend toward commoditized generalist agents suggests a future where specialized systems may become obsolete, prompting reflection on the field’s direction and priorities.

arXiv:2607. 16845v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientists at European XFEL conduct experiments that generate very large and complex datasets.
The paper introduces ScientistTwo, a fully autonomous multi‑agent framework that takes a scientific problem, establishes baselines, generates hypotheses, and coordinates specialized agents to conduct an end‑to‑end discovery cycle without human intervention. It rigorously tests and refines its methods through automated experiments, ablation studies, and a closed‑loop peer‑review engine. Benchmarking against top conferences (ICLR, ICML, NeurIPS) shows that ScientistTwo produces expert‑level, publishable papers and codebases that outperform human state‑of‑the‑art models and receive higher review ratings under automated AI review.
arXiv:2607. 14178v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in Large Language Models have fueled autonomous AI agents capable of tackling complex scientific tasks, yet existing automated research systems remain predominantly focused on empirically driven domains with quantitative benchmarks, leaving theory-driven discovery, particularly in mathematically grounded disciplines requiring rigorous proofs and synthesis of domain knowledge, largely underexplored.
