PersonaScienceBench is a new benchmark comprising 200 tasks drawn from five existing benchmarks across four scientific domains. It introduces simulated researchers with distinct persona profiles who provide context and feedback during interactions, while the task objectives and grading remain unchanged. The benchmark evaluates scientific agents on how they collaborate with diverse researchers, assessing task performance, fact recovery, and self-repetition across eighteen model configurations.
Identifying promising scientific ideas remains an important challenge in research practice. Researchers commonly rely on small-group discussions or one-to-one interactions with a single large language model, yet these approaches often expose them to only a limited range of perspectives and directions.

arXiv:2606. 07462v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As foundation models advance and agent scaffolding becomes increasingly sophisticated, agents have demonstrated remarkable proficiency in complex, long-horizon coding tasks and even autonomous experiment execution.
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. 02520v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automated research agents increasingly generate code, retrieve literature, and draft scientific artifacts, but they often fail to verify whether generated experiments execute correctly or whether cited sources support generated claims.
Autonomous scientific research agents are increasingly applied to end-to-end scientific workflows, including literature review, data analysis, experimentation, and report generation. However, open-end...
Kolab is a new dataset comprising over 115 hours of screen recordings from 50 professionals across 40 occupations who collaborate with AI agents on realistic, long‑horizon tasks. The dataset includes participants’ judgments of collaboration quality and output, revealing varied coordination patterns and the need for agents to anticipate how experts will use or modify their contributions. Analysis shows current state‑of‑the‑art models overestimate collaboration success and struggle to differentiate high‑ from low‑quality interactions, indicating a gap in understanding long‑horizon human‑agent teamwork.
