The paper "Can AI Scientists Coordinate at Runtime?" introduces Runtime Agent Coordination (RAC), a system that dynamically selects agents from existing AI‑scientist hosts during execution, assigns scoped work contracts, and provides artifact‑grounded verification. An exploratory evaluation on ResearchClawBench across three hosts—Agent Laboratory, EvoScientist, and ARK—shows that runtime selection improves performance, while adding contracts and verification can reduce scores depending on the host. The study highlights the potential and limitations of runtime coordination under budget constraints.

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. 12123v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM-agent services repeatedly execute small deterministic transitions between model and tool calls: route an outcome, update state, and emit the next effect.
arXiv:2608. 04458v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic AI is emerging in datacenters, but its architectural implications remain unexplored.
