Researchers from Peking University and Yuan Kong AI Agent Lab have released OpenAI4S, an open-source scientific research agent that mimics the capabilities of Anthropic's closed-source Claude Science. This new agent, available under the MIT license, focuses on a "Code-as-Action" approach, allowing AI to directly generate and execute Python or R code within a persistent environment. OpenAI4S aims to integrate AI into the full research workflow, from data retrieval and analysis to report generation, with a strong emphasis on using real data and computations, and avoiding fabricated results. AI
