Tongyi Deep Research, the Leading Open-source Deep Research Agent
wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep
ARIS ⚔️ (Auto-Research-In-Sleep) — Lightweight Markdown-only skills for autonomous ML research: cross-model review loops, idea discovery, and experiment automation. No framework, no lock-in — works with Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, or any LLM agent.
microsoft/RD-Agent
Research and development (R&D) is crucial for the enhancement of industrial productivity, especially in the AI era, where the core aspects of R&D are mainly focused on data and models. We are committed to automating these high-value generic R&D processes through R&D-Agent, which lets AI drive data-driven AI. 🔗https://aka.ms/RD-Agent-Tech-Report
AgentTeam-TaichuAI/ScienceClaw
ScienceClaw is a personal research assistant built with LangChain DeepAgents and AIO Sandbox infrastructure, adopting a completely new architecture beyond OpenClaw. It offers stronger security, better transparency, and a more user-friendly experience.
jataware/open-coscientist
Open Coscientist is an open-source adaptation based on Google Research's AI Co-Scientist research paper. We provide an open implementation that generates, reviews, ranks, and evolves research hypotheses using the multi-agent architecture described.
anthropic.com/claude-science
Anthropic's closed-source AI workbench for scientists — a coordinating agent with 60+ curated skills and connectors across genomics, single-cell, proteomics, structural biology and cheminformatics, with local, SSH and HPC compute. Beta for Claude Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise.
