Auto-Research infrastructure ceiling is here! Yacine’s 1.5-hour deep-dive interview with Paradigma’s two founders, a thorough breakdown of how DAG becomes the foundational infrastructure for autonomous research:

  • Why DAG is the best substrate for research (far beyond linear papers)
  • How agents efficiently run on DAG + automatic flywheel
  • Ways to build large public research DAGs
  • How to validate & avoid bad bad DAG (core pain points)
  • How knowledge is shared between experiments, human roles, hallucination handling, token consumption…
  • Plus real Auto-Research Agent results showcase + large DAG visualization

From “important findings per joules” to DAG replacing pre-prints, this wave directly pushes autonomous research from idea to deployable infrastructure!
Anyone interested in AI Agent-driven research or autonomous discovery systems — must watch! (Full timestamps with a crystal-clear table of contents, 1h30min packed to the brim)

Yacine Mahdid (@yacinelearning):
if you are interested in learning about the infra behind auto-research this 1h30min interview with the paradigma folks is for you

in it we look at:

  • why dag are great research substrate
  • how to let agents run that dag
  • ways to make big public dag
  • how to avoid bad bad dag

@vintcessun: Tonight I came across a learning roadmap project that redefined where to start learning Agent. I used to think Agent was just a pile of tools and frameworks, but its core is the "observe-think-execute" loop and the harness engineering's organization of permissions, state, and backtracking. It breaks down learning into building a minimal Agent loop from scratch all the way to deploying a real Agent, with 8 stages, each with clear deliverables and recommended resources — not just links but an actionable todo list. This systematic approach made me realize my previous learning was too fragmented.

@VincentLogic: Anthropic’s talk had some solid insights. Previously, building Agents required manually implementing routing, retry mechanisms, and context compression. Now, the speaker points out that these 'scaffolding' features are already built into the model—stop reinventing the wheel.
