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.
LabFactory is a framework that transforms a scientific brief into an executable AI lab, integrating models, knowledge resources, tools, and a controller behind a fixed interface. The builder packages the lab in a metered workspace, and a separate host evaluates the delivered artifact on held‑out inputs, ensuring the system itself is the evaluation target. Across 28 constructions in seven scientific domains, the delivered labs surpassed reference values on all 33 subtests, demonstrating that an AI agent can fully realize a scientific brief into a working, inspectable lab.

Scientific discovery workflows usually contain and rely heavily on lab notes, where researchers record observations, interpret uncertain results, and plan follow-up experiments. Such informative lab notes preserve evolving scientific reasoning and author uncertainty, rather than polished final results exhibited in publications, providing a valuable opportunity for AI to engage in scientific exploration at a more comprehensive and deeper level.
