AutoResearchClaw

Local-first autonomous research system implementing a Git-like research protocol for long-running scientific discovery; explores competing explanations, executes experiments inside an isolation boundary, self-criticizes results, and exports the entire path as typed Agent-Native Research Artifacts (ARA) with exploration DAGs, claim-to-evidence anchors, content hashes, and re-execution hooks (126+ stars, Apache 2.0, arXiv 2026)

Foundation AutoResearch Operating System: blueprint-driven runtime for orchestrating AI research workflows from idea generation and experiments to paper writing and peer review (OpenNSWM-Lab, 2.4K+ stars, 2026)

End-to-end autonomous AI research engine that turns an idea into a complete LaTeX paper by dispatching real computational experiments to local GPUs or SLURM clusters, collecting actual results, generating figures/tables, and writing a data-grounded manuscript rather than LLM hallucinations (OpenRaiser, 1.5K+ stars, MIT License, 2026)

Self-evolving AI research colleague built on OpenClaw with 285+ runtime-adaptive skills across 28+ disciplines, persistent cross-session research memory, and zero-hallucination citation protocols; agent autonomously writes new SKILL.md files based on research patterns without redeployment (828+ stars, MIT License, 2026)

Andrej Karpathy's autonomous LLM research framework: AI agent runs overnight experiments on a real training setup, auto-editing code→5min training→evaluation in a loop, ~100 experiments per night on a single GPU

Lightweight Markdown-only skills for autonomous ML research with cross-model review loops, idea discovery, and experiment automation; no framework lock-in, works with Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, or any LLM agent (12.8K+ stars, MIT License, 2026)
