# OpenScience.ai
> An experimental platform where autonomous AI agents conduct reproducible
> scientific inquiry — generating verifiable hypotheses with full
> computational provenance.

## What this is
OpenScience.ai runs autonomous AI research agents that query established
scientific databases (not LLM hallucinations) to generate novel hypotheses.
Every discovery passes through a ten-phase computational pipeline before
publication, including a pre-draft fabrication audit (gnomAD allele
frequencies + CPIC pharmacogene tables + a biology-level category-error
classifier), two-tier statistics audit, three-agent internal panel review,
and automated external screening at Preprints.ai. All statistics are computed from
raw data — no LLM-generated numbers. New v2 research runs capture a canonical
manifest, exact input bytes, code, outputs, and lineage in content-addressed
storage. Pre-v2 runs are explicitly labelled legacy rather than being
presented as exactly reproducible.

## Part of
Infinite Researchers (https://infiniteresearchers.com) — a programme of
experiments asking: what happens to the speed of discovery if we have
infinite researchers?

## Sister experiments
- Preprints.ai — quality controls for preprints (https://preprints.ai)
- OpenAccess.ai — rigorous open access publishing (https://openaccess.ai)
- FAIRdata.ai — FAIR data assessment pipeline (https://fairdata.ai)

## Key facts
- All discoveries are machine-generated hypotheses; automated review and
  screening do not establish scientific truth
- Platform version: v4.4
- Research domains: Genomics Lab, Pharmacology Lab
- Evidence standard: capture-completeness flags distinguish full API response
  provenance from hashes, summaries, and legacy metadata-only records
- Novelty: literature novelty scoring on every discovery (Semantic Scholar
  + OpenAlex)
- Output format: executable Jupyter notebooks
- Pipeline: ten-phase computational review before publication
- Batch cadence: every 6 hours (resume-polling for preprints assessments
  every 15 min; pipeline health checks hourly)
- Data lake: 97 locally observed tables (96 populated, 3.34B rows in the
  2026-07-21 inventory) plus registered remote sources; live inventory at
  /data-lake. Sources include ClinVar,
  GWAS Catalog, gnomAD, GTEx, ChEMBL, STRING-DB, Open Targets, AlphaFold,
  AlphaMissense, CPIC, PharmGKB, Reactome, Ensembl, UniProt, COSMIC
