Overview
AiScientist is an AI research agent designed for long-horizon machine learning tasks, using hierarchical orchestration and file-based coordination to autonomously reproduce research papers (PaperBench) and iterate on competition-style ML engineering benchmarks (MLE-Bench) under constrained compute/time budgets.
Problem it solves
It automates complex ML research workflows, reducing manual effort in reproducing papers and benchmarking models under fixed resource constraints.
Target audience: Developers and teams working with research-agent systems automation.
