Autonomous Science Agents — Researcher Index

v2.3.0 · updated 2026-10-10
A filterable index of AI systems that act as scientific agents: literature, hypothesis, experiment planning, code/simulation execution, lab automation, analysis, and reporting across STEM. Answer fast: what domain? · in → out? · accessible today? · how autonomous? Local 2.3.0 preview reviewed 2026-10-10. 542 records; 84 carry this review date. 84 records were added or restored after an independent adversarial check. 76 existing records received targeted corrections, mostly access relabels after a licence check, and keep their earlier verification dates. The October audit records sources, review verdicts, holds and coverage limits. Access tags are best-effort — verify before relying on any system. Rows tagged Paper-only are leads from papers with no confirmed public code. Click a row for detail.
