Gricea: An Open Science Platform for Conversational AI Research

Gricea is an open‑science platform that represents conversational AI studies as configurable, deployable artifacts, allowing researchers to run, inspect, share, and reuse them. A replication effort using Gricea successfully reproduced 93% of eligible CUI 2026 papers and identified missing details in 96% of papers, highlighting the platform’s necessity. A user study showed that researchers and practitioners from diverse backgrounds could construct runnable studies on various open‑ended questions, demonstrating Gricea’s role in facilitating reproducibility and cumulative knowledge building in conversational AI research.

Model Retirement Creates Reproducibility Risk in Biomedical AI Publications

The study examined biomedical research articles from 2022 to March 2026 that employed large language models (LLMs). It found that 42% of the most frequently used models were already retired or scheduled to retire within two years of publication, with a median retirement interval of 538 days. This high rate of model deprecation threatens the reproducibility of biomedical AI research.

Introducing Quine: An AI research system designed for the complexity of biology

Microsoft Research introduces Quine, an early‑stage AI research system that builds a multimodal world model of biology. By linking insights across different biological scales and modalities, Quine enables scientists to computationally explore a much larger hypothesis space than intuition alone would allow. Experimental results feed back into the system, helping researchers refine future research directions.
