We present an agentic approach to autonomous neural operator discovery based on an AI scientific community, which consists of a swarm of virtual laboratories that interact under a citation-based economy of influence. Highly-cited labs found new labs that follow their research direction and replace non-performing labs.

arXiv:2606. 10402v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scientific discovery is often a collective process: researchers share partial results, inspect failed attempts, and build on each other's ideas over long time horizons.
By Federico Bianchi, Yongchan Kwon, Aneesh Pappu, James Zou
arXiv:2607. 07729v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As foundation models grow in scale and diversity, coordinating multiple models into cooperative reasoning systems offers a path toward safer, more reliable AI.
