Could you build this?

Partial Autonomous multi-agent research platforms (like The AI Scientist) combine LLM agent workflows that are vibe-codeable with complex automated code execution environments and benchmarking sandboxes.

What it would actually take: The system requires an agent orchestration backend (Python/LangGraph) coupled with secure, isolated sandboxes (Docker/microVMs like Firecracker) to execute arbitrary scientific code, run experiments, and generate LaTeX papers. The hard part is preventing hallucinated research breakthroughs, managing runaway compute loops, and validating scientific code executions reliably.
