Autonomous system that runs the full research loop and writes a paper

The AI Scientist generates hypotheses from a topic, designs and runs experiments in a sandbox, analyses results, writes a full manuscript in LaTeX and reviews its own output. Sakana's system became the first autonomous pipeline with a paper published in Nature, and independent evaluation puts a complete manuscript at $6-15 and about 3.5 hours of human supervision.
