The Agentic Scientist: Orchestrating Coding Agents for Automated Scientific (Co-)Discovery
Blog: pub.sakana.ai/agentic-scient…
GitHub: github.com/SakanaAI/AI-Scien…
arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2610.18933
Since 2024, we’ve used The AI Scientist as a way to test how far AI alone can take scientific research, from v1 to v2 to the paper published in Nature earlier this year. The Agentic Scientist is the next step in that line of work, built for the era of coding agents.
Coding agents such as Codex and Claude Code now carry out long software tasks on their own. Handing them a research problem, however, tends to produce a strong hyperparameter optimizer rather than a scientist: scores go up, but ideas stay narrow, and the reasons for the gain are rarely examined.
The Agentic Scientist makes the research loop explicit. It wraps off-the-shelf coding agents in a scaffold that controls what they see, what they write, how they are evaluated, and how results are handed to the next stage.
Parallel workers test hypotheses against rubrics defined before any experiment runs, share successes and failures through a common memory, and then ablate the winning program to generate evidence.
We used an early version of the system to study Error Diffusion, a biologically motivated alternative to backpropagation. Our researchers set the question and the rubric, chose directions at each stage, and verified the results, references, and claims before submission. The resulting paper was accepted as an oral presentation at ALIFE 2026. In autonomous runs, the system also raised Doc-to-LoRA retrieval accuracy from 52% to 98% on multi-needle tasks and designed a learned evolution strategy that improves over its CMA-ES reference on unseen tasks.
Alongside it we release AutoIllustrate, a pipeline for scientific figures that keeps an editable draw.io file as the source of truth, so every diagram can be corrected by hand.
Humans define the question and the standards of evidence; agents expand the experiments researchers can run. We call this Co-Discovery, and we are releasing both systems as open source for the community to build on.

We have got to stop saying that AI fluency is a technical skill. The moment we do, half of the population thinks they can't do it. The reality is that AI fluency is a social skill—it's about building trust and an understanding of limitations while clearly communicating needs.

Was chatting with @svembu ji this morning about limits of AI. I asked him what’s left for us once models commoditize reasoning.
He said and I quote (with consent) -
"Nature, Nurture, Culture, and Scripture."
Liked that perspective. Intelligence is no longer the moat :)
Okay ! Now that’s some serious promise
Today Hone launches Engines: AI that owns business outcomes.
Chatbots give answers. Agents do tasks. Engines deliver outcomes, and we hold them responsible for creating real value, measured in actual dollars instead of tokens or vibes.
You point it at a business metric, and the Engine figures out the rest. It onboards itself, builds the necessary agents, skills, and memories, collaborates with the right people, and gets better with experience.
From AI leaders to global enterprises, our customers have already used Engines to:
• Uncover millions in procurement savings
• Optimize product funnels
• Manage credit risk
• Increase qualified pipeline in new territories
• Accelerate implementations and improve account management
To scale this impact across the economy, we’ve raised a $60M seed led by Benchmark and Index with participation from Elad Gil, Hanabi, Definition, Diffusion, Lux, SV Angel, and Align.
AI’s raw capabilities are far ahead of the value it creates in the real world, and Engines will help close the gap.
Here’s how they work…
It’s similar to when you l autoCAD you don’t do drafting via drafter
Goodbye to LeetCode? Google just updated its interview process. AI is now a part of it.
They have introduced a new round called Code Comprehension.
The idea behind this round is to drop the candidates into a 200-500-line codebase with Gemini available for use.
This round evaluates:
- Can you read someone else's code
- Are you able to debug independently before utilizing AI
- Can you catch when Gemini is wrong

I’m no longer sure what “intellectual property” means when intellect becomes free.

One of the most compelling parts about working at an ElonCo was the agility to pivot to whatever the most important problem was.
One day I said: I wasn’t hired to go after spam, but a tsunami is coming and I’m going to drop everything to focus on that.
The org is so flat and agile that your title is basically meaningless. Anyone can sound the alarm about a problem and solve it themselves—or rally the team to join them.
This is how startups work but it’s very hard to make it work in a larger company.

I've done a complete U-turn on my opinion on open source AI. We should be careful (and probably disallow release) of models on par with current open source Astra/Opus level models.
AI is now reverse engineering games from binaries and remaking them. Reverse engineering games is a very hard problem. If this is possible then reverse engineering banking software, ID systems (Aadhaar), flights, etc is possible too. A game ships its binary to every player. Bank and Aadhaar backends are protected by servers, but it's unlikely the security teams at these are smarter than advanced AI that can do this to games.
We are protected rn because a Claude will refuse to tick "I'm not a robot" on websites. When OSS models don't respect that, we have a looming cybersecurity problem. Apologies I didn't see this earlier.

Release 🚨
America dot gov is boring. I am happy to release 275k public Indian gov documents parsed from 15k gov websites. 322k official PDFs and on 128 topics, available to plug and play into any RAG frameowrk of your choice. Both raw data and cleaned data available in csv, parquet and SQLite format. At least 50k pages are useful. :D
Will be updating this to 20 Million documents by month end (process running on JarvisLabs autonomously. Happy to share tracking link for those interested)
Go build your Indian gov chatbot. No license, no credits needed. <3
Of course it passed the Turing test.
If I was sitting there with my eyes closed.
Or maybe it passed the Turing test for people who watch AI-generated videos all day.
Guys, splash some water on your face.
AI-designed proteins are becoming real.
Bro’s first thought
we need to watermark this shit.
We invented DRM for the building blocks of life before GTA 6.
Capitalism remains undefeated.
Very happy to announce that our team @GoogleDeepmind has pushed the boundaries of generative biology, achieving the successful synthesis of AI-designed proteins that are both functional and watermarked.
This proof-of-concept watermarking of the building blocks of life is enabled by SynthID Bio, our new protein watermarking method. It is designed to safeguard the new era of AI-powered generative biology and strengthen global biosecurity.
You can read my thoughts here on why watermarking AI-designed proteins is an important research breakthrough: xitter.cf/pushmeet/status/210531…
