Abstract
EvoMaster is a scalable, self-evolving agent framework designed for large-scale scientific discovery that enables iterative hypothesis refinement and knowledge accumulation across experimental cycles.
The convergence of large language models and agents is catalyzing a new era of scientific discovery:Agentic Science. While the scientific method is inherently iterative, existing agent frameworks are predominantly static, narrowly scoped, and lack the capacity to learn from trial and error. To bridge this gap, we present EvoMaster, a foundationalevolving agent frameworkengineered specifically forAgentic Scienceat Scale. Driven by the core principle of continuousself-evolution, EvoMaster empowers agents to iteratively refine hypotheses, self-critique, and progressively accumulate knowledge across experimental cycles, faithfully mirroring humanscientific inquiry. Crucially, as adomain-agnostic baseharness, EvoMaster is exceptionally easy to scale up -- enabling developers to build and deploy highly capable, self-evolving scientific agents for arbitrary disciplines in approximately 100 lines of code. Built upon EvoMaster, we incubated the SciMaster ecosystem across domains such as machine learning, physics, and general science. Evaluations on four authoritative benchmarks (Humanity’s Last Exam, MLE-Bench Lite, BrowseComp, and FrontierScience) demonstrate that EvoMaster achieves state-of-the-art scores of 41.1%, 75.8%, 73.3%, and 53.3%, respectively. It comprehensively outperforms the general-purpose baseline OpenClaw with relative improvements ranging from +159% to +316%, robustly validating its efficacy and generality as the premier foundational framework for the next generation ofautonomous scientific discovery. EvoMaster is available at https://github.com/sjtu-sai-agents/EvoMaster.
