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:2607. 16038v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientific work increasingly spans heterogeneous artifacts -- papers, code, datasets, scientific file formats, model outputs, figures, manuscripts, and team decisions -- yet general-purpose AI assistants rarely preserve these objects as a coherent, auditable research state.
arXiv:2608. 10366v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Real-world data science involves long-horizon workflows that span data wrangling, exploration, modeling, visualization, and validation, and require coordinated use of tools such as notebooks, IDEs, terminals, browsers, and databases within real operating environments.
arXiv:2607. 02703v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we describe LLMoxie, an institutional AI platform whose three-tiered architecture supports multi-cloud and on-premise inference, a LiteLLM/MLflow control plane for authentication, budgeting, PII masking, and observability, and an application augmentation layer for AI coding agents.
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. 14354v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Enabling LLM agents to sustain productive, stable, and goal-aligned research over extended horizons is a central challenge for autonomous machine learning and scientific discovery, as progress hinges on continuously managing evolving state, exploration decisions, and computational resources.
arXiv:2608.28590v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) agents have shown promise for automating data-science workflows, yet their end-to-end performance depends critically on the...
Dr. Claw is an open‑source AI scientist workspace that integrates existing command‑line coding agents into a single, auditable, human‑in‑the‑loop workflow. It uses persistent state objects, a reusable skill library, and multi‑executor coordination to link human decisions with AI execution, creating a traceable and recoverable loop for planning, execution, and writing. The authors demonstrate the system with an interactive scenario and a failure‑recovery walkthrough, and show that, when the underlying executor is held constant, Dr. Claw achieves higher research completeness while preserving an auditable process trail.
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. 11224v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Materials research advances through accumulated experience - scripts that work, protocols that are trusted, warnings attached to failed calculations or experiments, and judgement that links a new question to an old result.
