## Intro

AI Scientist is a fully automated research system by Sakana AI that generates novel ideas, designs experiments, runs code, analyzes results, and writes complete scientific papers in LaTeX with 12,000+ GitHub stars. Given a research template and compute budget, it autonomously produces publishable-quality manuscripts — including literature review, methodology, results, and discussion sections. Best for researchers exploring AI-assisted scientific discovery and anyone curious about the frontier of automated research. Works with: Claude, GPT-4, Gemini. Setup time: under 10 minutes.

## How It Works

### 1. Idea Generation
The system brainstorms novel research directions:

```
Input: "Improve training efficiency of small language models"
Generated Ideas:
1. Adaptive learning rate scheduling based on gradient noise
2. Curriculum learning with dynamic difficulty assessment
3. Sparse attention patterns for resource-constrained training
...
```

### 2. Experiment Design
For each idea, it designs and implements experiments:

```python
# AI generates experiment code automatically
# Modifies the template codebase
# Adds metrics, logging, and ablation studies
```

### 3. Experiment Execution
Runs experiments with full logging:

```
Running experiment: adaptive_lr_scheduling
Epoch 1/50: loss=2.34, lr=0.001
Epoch 2/50: loss=1.89, lr=0.0008
...
Results: 15% improvement over baseline
```

### 4. Paper Writing
Generates a complete LaTeX paper:

```
├── paper.tex          # Full manuscript
├── figures/           # Generated plots
├── references.bib     # Cited works
└── review.txt         # Self-review and scoring
```

### 5. Self-Review
The system reviews its own paper and provides a score:

```
Novelty: 7/10
Significance: 6/10
Clarity: 8/10
Overall: Accept with minor revisions
```

### Research Templates Available
