Co-Scientist: Gemini-Powered Multi-Agent System for Scientific Hypotheses
A research team led by Juraj Gottweis and Vivek Natarajan has introduced 'Co-Scientist' in Nature. Built on Google Gemini, the multi-agent system assists researchers in formulating, evaluating and evolving novel scientific hypotheses and experimental protocols. By scaling test-time compute within an asynchronous multi-agent framework, hypotheses undergo iterative tournament-based self-improvement. The system was validated through in vitro laboratory experiments across three complex biomedical domains.
