In September, Meta launched the Foundational Integrity Research request for proposals. Today, we announce the winners of this award.
The fellowships in applied sciences, engineering, and mathematics recognize doctoral students who are pursuing solutions to the most pressing challenges in science and technology.
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.
MatToolBench is a new benchmark that evaluates multimodal GUI agents on professional materials science software. It contains 204 tasks across 10 tools in three modalities—GUI operation, OriginPro scripting, and code-based database queries—executed inside a Windows 11 VM. The benchmark offers fine-grained, expert-decomposed scoring and a high-performing multimodal judge for aesthetic assessment, revealing that strong general benchmark performance does not transfer to scientific workflows.
Congratulations to the Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research (BAIR) Lab class of 2026! This year, BAIR celebrates another remarkable group of Ph.
arXiv:2607. 22677v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scientific datasets intended for AI use require both computational readiness for model training and metadata readiness for discovery, sharing, and reuse.
arXiv:2605.22878v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Artificial intelligence is rapidly entering the core workflows of scientific research. Yet reliable scientific reasoning requires access to accumul...
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.
arXiv:2608. 00089v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: With rapid growth in the fields of empirical and computational aesthetics we have seen a vast increase in large image datasets annotated for aesthetics.
The paper introduces the Scientific Contribution Graph, a large-scale resource that extracts 6 million scientific contributions from 655 k open-access papers across multiple disciplines and links them with 36 million prerequisite edges. It frames automated technological roadmapping as the task of identifying contributions and their prerequisites, and presents a new scientific prerequisite prediction task where models forecast which existing technologies enable future discoveries. The authors report that current models achieve a 0.48 MAP score on temporally-filtered backtesting, indicating rapid progress in this area.
Our first cohort of OpenAI Scholars has now completed the program.
