Can AI Scientists Coordinate at Runtime?

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.

LabOSBench: Benchmarking Computer Use Agents for Scientific Instrument Control

arXiv:2606. 16802v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current computer-use benchmarks primarily focus on software operation tasks in virtualized systems, whereas scientific instrumentation scenarios require coordinated control over complex interfaces, and feedback-driven parameter adjustment.

Proactive Agentic Orchestration

The paper introduces POrchestra, a proactive agentic orchestration framework that lets sub‑agents request harness adjustments during execution, enhancing adaptability to dynamic environments. It also proposes On‑Policy Orchestration Distillation (OPOD), which uses hindsight feedback from sub‑agents’ requests to provide targeted improvement signals for training the orchestration policy. Experiments on three long‑horizon benchmarks show that POrchestra boosts task success by about 9.1% over the best baseline, and with OPOD the improvement rises to 10.0%, while also improving cost‑performance trade‑offs.
