arXiv:2608. 02642v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accelerating scientific discovery is among the most consequential applications of AI, and computational biomolecular simulation stands out as a particularly promising target within this broader effort.
arXiv:2608. 06961v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Early-stage molecular design is an iterative process, not just a task of generating molecules.
arXiv:2606. 12916v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Molecular dynamics (MD) is the canonical in-silico method for atomistic molecular science, simulating molecular behavior from first-principle physics.
OpenAI4S is an open‑source scientific research agent that treats code as action and science as sessions, combining a persistent computing runtime with structured session management. It uses tool calls for orchestration, executes code cells in persistent Python and R kernels, and records an append‑only Action Ledger, per‑cell execution logs, versioned artifacts, environment snapshots, and workspace checkpoints to preserve provenance and enable session recovery, branching, and extension. Evaluated on 36 research scenarios—including retrosynthesis, molecular dynamics, and protein design—OpenAI4S achieved a higher overall score (7.83) than a general‑purpose coding harness, especially on long‑horizon, computation‑intensive workflows, though reproducibility remains an open challenge. whyItMatters":"The system demonstrates that persistent execution coupled with session‑level provenance can enhance the reliability of AI‑assisted scientific workflows, as evidenced by its superior performance across diverse research scenarios."
arXiv:2608. 07637v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-running molecular simulation campaigns require repeated continuation from saved states, provenance-aware progression, adaptive assessment, and occasional interpretation of workflow conditions that cannot be resolved safely by fixed rules.
El Agente Potente is an agentic system that integrates typed execution graphs and a coding mode to facilitate machine‑learning interatomic potential (MLIP) driven atomistic simulations. Typed execution graphs offer structured, provenance‑aware workflows where large language models handle planning and routing while deterministic Python code performs scientific computation and validation. The coding agent builds customized workflows for tasks needing procedural flexibility, invoking existing Potente functions for supported calculations. The system is demonstrated across materials discovery, energy‑landscape exploration, adsorption, and catalytic reaction workflows, with benchmarks on reproducibility and LLM token cost.
arXiv:2608. 04942v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: CheMLFlow is an open-source platform for building and executing end-to-end, high-throughput, and agentic workflows for scientific and technological applications.
AgentFold is a multi‑agent framework that treats protein‑folding model design as a closed‑loop search over executable code variants. Starting from the ESMFold codebase, the agents generate hypotheses, modify and debug code, evaluate model variants, and store both successes and failures in structured memory, guided by an MCTS‑style policy that allocates GPU resources. In an engineering‑scale experiment, AgentFold explored about 80 variants using 5,000 GPU‑hours and 170 million LLM tokens, improving the best lDDT score by 7.5% over independent Codex proposals and outperforming a random‑search baseline, while also uncovering empirical design patterns such as the benefits of early, soft, learnable priors.
arXiv:2607. 03513v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present AquaGen, the first all-atom, explicit solvent, periodic-boundary-condition-aware generative model that produces molecular configurations from the Boltzmann distribution at a fraction of the cost of molecular dynamics (MD).
FrontierChallenge is a cross‑domain benchmark that releases 300 end‑to‑end scientific workflows, of which 97 are evaluated in this study. The benchmark covers diverse fields such as quantum chemistry, molecular dynamics, materials characterization, analytical chemistry, life science, and electrochemistry/environment, and requires agents to produce a bundle of fixed scientific deliverables. Twelve frontier models were tested, and the best configurations completed only 20 of the 97 tasks, achieving a 20.6% pass rate; high partial scores and confident completion claims often did not translate into full delivery, especially in analytical chemistry and electrochemistry/environment.
arXiv:2608.23104v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Molecular science represents an important frontier for LLM-based agents. Unlike general agents that mainly operate over natural language, code, or we...
The paper extends Co‑Scientist, a Gemini‑based multi‑agent system, and validates it in real‑world scientific settings. In materials science it designed a safe precursor route for MXenes and achieved single‑attempt growth of monolayer MoS₂, MoSe₂, and WS₂. In biology it predicted swarming phenotypes of engineered E. coli, and in computer science it discovered a superior inference‑time scaling architecture for HealthBench. A double‑blind study with 30 experts showed that Co‑Scientist’s reliability modules reduce hallucination and plagiarism while improving research safety.
CheMLFlow is an open-source platform for building and executing end-to-end, high-throughput, and agentic workflows for scientific and technological applications. CheMLFlow targets a common bottleneck in scientific machine learning development, where researchers often need to assemble data acquisition, curation, representation, model training, validation, screening, interpretation, and reporting into a reproducible pipeline, even when their primary research contribution concerns only one stage.
