@FinanceYF5: Science Goes Programmable 1/ The research paradigm is shifting—70 % of scientists can’t reproduce others’ results, and 50 % can’t even reproduce their own experiments a few months later. This isn’t about any single tool being weak; the entire production model needs to be rebuilt.
Summary
The post notes that 70 % of scientists fail to reproduce published results, and 50 % can’t replicate their own experiments months later. It argues the issue isn’t a single inadequate tool but that the whole scientific production model must shift to a programmable paradigm.

Scientific Programming 1/ The research paradigm is shifting
70 % of scientists can’t reproduce published results; 50 % can’t reproduce their own experiments a few months later.
This isn’t about any single tool being under-powered—the entire production model is due for a rewrite.

A year ago, developers' workflow was to first write code in an IDE, then prompt multiple Claude instances in parallel.

Anthropic's Boris Cherny points out that programming is moving towards a higher level of abstraction, with workflows shifting from manually writing code to letting Claude make autonomous decisions, and predicts that the next paradigm shift will arrive this year.
@Honcia13: The threshold for scientific research is being completely redefined! Previously: staying up late reading papers, repeatedly running code, writing a week-long review. Now: a single instruction is enough. The open-source AI agent Feynman compresses PhD-level research processes into fully automated execution: a single instruction can complete in-depth arXiv research, literature review, code verification …
The open-source AI agent Feynman, through the collaboration of four intelligent agents, compresses PhD-level research processes (including arXiv research, literature review, code verification) into fully automated execution, requiring only a single instruction from the user.
@vintcessun: Finally, someone has paved the way for AI-assisted research, connecting the once fragmented pipeline. Writing papers, compiling literature reports, generating simulation figures, and creating defense slides — in the past each step required manually shuffling data and copying results. Now, three Skills tie the entire workflow together: from scientific-toolkit for computing data and generating figures, feeding directly into research-writing for the main text, and then letting office-academic produce editable PPTs and Word documents, completely eliminating repetitive manual effort. The core is a complementary collaboration set, installable with one click in Claude Code and Codex, with Chinese-first support.
A report on an AI-assisted research tool that connects the entire research workflow through three Skills (scientific-toolkit, research-writing, office-academic), from data computation to paper writing to PPT creation. It supports one-click installation in Claude Code and Codex, with Chinese-first priority.

The Stanford REAP team has launched CoPaper.AI, a tool that can automatically generate a reproducible empirical paper with complete Stata/R code and charts within 30 minutes after inputting raw data, aiming to end the manual labor of traditional papers.
@cevenif: Reminiscing about the hard days of research? Staying up all night refreshing arXiv, tweaking parameters and running code around the clock, spending a week to squeeze out a literature review, losing a lot of hair, and progress crawling like a snail. Now Feynman steps in – just throw a sentence at it and it handles everything: one-click deep search of arXiv, automatic literature review generation thrown right at you…
Feynman is an open-source AI research agent that automates deep arXiv searches, literature review generation, code reproduction, and more. It runs locally, reducing redundant work for researchers.
