Sakana AI published a Nature paper describing The AI Scientist-v2, an agent that autonomously executes machine learning research by generating ideas, conducting experiments, and writing papers. A paper generated by the system achieved a 69% balanced accuracy score from an Automated Reviewer that matched human peer-review performance on actual conference submissions. The results demonstrate a scaling law where improved foundation models produce higher-quality generated papers, suggesting the system's capabilities will improve substantially as underlying models advance.
