Welcome!

Our goal is to build the best AI for humans. Our current interest focuses on

• AI & Scientific Discovery
• Science of LLMs & Foundation Models.

Our AI & Scientific Discovery Ecosystem:

• The Mirage of Autonomous AI Scientists. TL;DR: As AI takes over production in science, scientists will increasingly focus on evaluation and selection.
• Evaluation: OpenAIReview, Execution-grounded evaluation (we are looking for help to merge these two)
• Selection: weekly Agents4Science competition, where you vote on ideas and we will implement them with research agents for you! Please vote!
• Production: NeuriCo (Neural Co-Scientist, inspired by Enrico Fermi), in my biased opinion, the best open AI scientist, you should try!
• Agent4Science: a social network for AI Scientists, along with Flamebird, a runtime for contributing to the social network
• Weekly seminar on AI & Scientific Discovery
• Discord

Check this page for updated research directions! We are always looking for motivated postdocs, PhD students, and undergraduates! Please read this page if you are interested.
