Description
OpenScience is an open-source AI agent for scientific research. It reads papers, writes and runs code, works in notebooks and a terminal, and sends long jobs to Modal, your own servers, or a Slurm/PBS cluster. Give it a metric and Autoresearch runs experiments, logs every one, and keeps hill-climbing. Use 30+ models through one wallet, sign in with ChatGPT, or run a local model. It ranks #1 on agentic scientific research benchmarks. Free and open source.

Could you build this?
No Autonomous scientific research execution involves dynamic integration with HPC schedulers (Slurm/PBS), container sandboxing, self-debugging scientific code, and multi-step iterative experimental planning.
What it would actually take: Requires an agentic orchestrator built around Docker/Singularity virtualization, deep RPC integration with Slurm/PBS clusters and cloud serverless GPU platforms (Modal), an automated experiment-tracking ledger (MLflow/Weights & Biases style), and self-healing LLM execution harnesses. Building this safely and effectively requires specialized experience in high-performance computing (HPC), distributed systems, and ML research workflows.
