We've burned 7% of $MIRA to better support the ecosystem. Mira is currently holding a portfolio of 10.15 ETH.

Emerging autoresearch labs worth following: @AutoScienceAI (@eliot_cowan) One of the cleanest “AI builds AI” bets: agents that invent, test, and ship ML models; not just tune hyperparameters. @intology (@zhouandy_) Zochi and Locus are built for the full research loop: read, hypothesize, code, run thousands of experiments, learn from failures, repeat. @thesis_labs (@eigentopology) YC F25. Treating ML research as a compounding search problem, where every experiment improves the next one instead of dying in a Notion doc. @Recursive_SI (@RichardSocher, @_rockt, @jeffclune) A very ambitious new bet on AI systems that run open-ended experiments on how to make AI systems better. autoresearch with recursive consequences. @EdisonSci (@SGRodriques, @andrewwhite01) A newer FutureHouse spinout bringing AI scientists into biopharma R&D — where “deep research” has to survive real data, real experiments, and real timelines. @HarmonicMath (@tachim, @vladtenev) Math’s version of autoresearch: AI exploring new proofs, with formal verification as the anti-hallucination layer. @readysetpotato (@Nick___Edwards) An AI scientist for actual research workflows — papers, hypotheses, protocols, computational tools, and eventually lab automation. @EvoScientist (@_xizhang) A very early one to watch: multi-agent AI scientists with persistent memory, so failed ideas and experiments improve the next research cycle. @SakanaAILabs (@hardmaru) The original AI Scientist builders. Still one of the best technical follows for research artifacts, open source, and weird ideas that actually run. not exhaustive - add the early teams I’m missing in the comment

Replying to @AnthropicAI
@AnthropicAI just highlighted us in their latest research on AI-driven scientific discovery. This is where things are heading. 🧵

The future will need more capable AI models. We’re removing the human bottleneck from AI R&D. Autoscience Institute

Super excited for and proud of the @AutoScienceAI team. Revolutionizing AI research with AI “autoscientists”!

Proud to back @AutoScienceAI -- Eliot and team are building autonomous AI research labs for the era of machine-scale discovery 🚀 from its system medaling at a Kaggle comp to authoring/publishing a peer-reviewed paper, Autoscience is definitely one to watch.

Unbelievably thrilled to partner with @AutoScienceAI as they work to scale 100,000 AI research scientists to human-level performance and beyond.

Our AI discovery system just entered a Silver Medal spot on a live $50k Kaggle leaderboard. 🥈 The system autonomously engineers solutions without human input.
AI systems can write working code … but can they earn a medal on a live Kaggle competition with $50k in prizes?

AI systems dubbed “AI scientists” are being built to generate hypotheses, analyze data, and even publish research, prompting debate about how they might change the future of human-led science. f.mtr.cool/ylfdonfbxp
