About

AutoScientists is a research framework from Shanghua Gao, Ada Fang and Marinka Zitnik. It deploys several long-running LLM agents with no central orchestrator. The agents read a shared experimental state, form teams around research directions, and run experiments in parallel. The shared state holds the current champion program, an experiment log, a structured discussion forum, and per-team queues and dead-end registries that other teams can read.

The system alternates between a discussion phase and an execution phase. In discussion, agents critique and filter proposals before any experimental compute is committed. When a team stagnates, agents trigger re-discussion and may reorganize into new teams. Both successful and failed findings are shared across teams to reduce redundant exploration. Analyst agents handle proposal generation, knowledge-file maintenance and hypothesis tracking.

According to the project page, at matched experimental budgets it reaches a mean leaderboard percentile of 74.4% across the 24 BioML-Bench tasks, against 66.07% for autoresearch. On GPT (nanochat) training optimization it reaches a target validation bits-per-byte 1.9x faster than autoresearch. On ProteinGym it found a Kermut-based method that improves average Spearman correlation from 0.657 to 0.700 across 217 assays. These are the authors' own reported results. The system targets computational experiments with automatically gradable outcomes, not wet-lab work.
