OpenScience launched an open-source AI agent for scientific research that can read papers, write and run code, and dispatch jobs to Modal, own servers, or Slurm/PBS clusters. It claims to rank #1 on agentic scientific research benchmarks. Users can now run and log experiment workflows end-to-end with Autoresearch in notebooks or a terminal, using 30+ models via a single wallet, or a local model.
