Democratizing AI scientists by transforming any LLM into research systems with 600+ scientific tools (Harvard MIMS)

Decentralized self-organizing teams of AI agents for long-running computational scientific experimentation; agents critique each other's proposals before spending compute and share successes/failures to avoid redundant exploration, achieving +8.33% on BioML-Bench, 1.9× faster nanoGPT optimization, and +12.5% on ProteinGym ACE2-Spike (425+ stars, 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

First fully autonomous open-ended scientific discovery system with official implementation: hypothesis→experiment→writing→review simulation (13.8K+ stars, 2024)

Open-source LLM-powered R&D agent framework automating data-driven AI solution building through automated research, development, and evolution; achieves top open-source performance on MLE-Bench with dual Researcher-Developer agents and supports research copilot, data mining, Kaggle, and quant R&D workflows (13.6K+ stars, MIT License, 2025-2026)

Fully autonomous research from idea to paper with multi-agent debate, citation verification, and OpenClaw integration (11K+ stars, 2026)
