Inherent, founded by DeepMind alumni, says its AI ‘teammate’ just outperformed Anthropic and OpenAI at replicating research
Inherent, a British AI lab founded by DeepMind alumni, has unveiled Faraday, an AI agent demonstrating remarkable capabilities in replicating scientific research. Initial tests show Faraday outperforming both Anthropic and OpenAI in this crucial area, suggesting a significant step forward in AI-driven scientific exploration. This breakthrough could accelerate innovation by automating literature review and hypothesis generation. For those interested in the broader challenges of AI agent development, our recent article, "Building a Proper Backend for My LangGraph AI Agent," explores practical considerations for real-world applications.
NeurIPS 2026: If the rebuttal addresses your concern, please raise your score [D]
A persistent challenge within the NeurIPS community involves reviewer scoring discrepancies: concerns adequately addressed in rebuttals are not always reflected in adjusted scores. We urge reviewers to align scores with the resolution of stated concerns, regardless of personal methodological preferences. Scientific exploration thrives on diverse perspectives, and valuing rigorous responses strengthens the peer-review process. As explored in "Coding Agents Don’t Need Bigger Context Windows — They Need a Context Compiler," a focus on efficient context management is key to progress.
Conference Reviews: Asking Too Much? [D]
Conference reviews sometimes request additions that extend beyond a paper's page limit, a practice particularly prevalent at top-tier events. While these expansions can be valuable, they often better suit journal publication—a concern that recently led one author to retract a submission. Does this approach inadvertently hinder future journal opportunities? We invite discussion on whether such additions are a conference review quirk or a sign of a broader disconnect.
Asking about how to collaborate with professors or research labs [D]
Navigating research opportunities outside of academia while maintaining a full-time job is certainly achievable. It requires a targeted approach. Begin by identifying professors or labs whose work aligns with your interests—university websites and publications are excellent resources. A concise, personalized email outlining your experience and research goals is key. Be upfront about your availability. Finally, for those seeking collaboration, direct messaging is a viable option to explore potential projects. As Google recently demonstrated with the surprise release of Gemini 3.
