New pipeline generates 97,000+ scientific agent training environments

Researchers have developed Poseidon, an automated pipeline designed to generate a large number of diverse and verifiable training environments for scientific agents by extracting them from scientific code repositories. This method decomposes scientific workflows into four distinct task types, significantly increasing the number of environments compared to previous approaches. The resulting collection, named Pearl, comprises over 97,000 environments from 7,110 repositories across 10 scientific disciplines, making it the largest and most multidisciplinary collection of its kind to date. Models trained on Pearl, such as Qwen3.5 variants, have demonstrated consistent improvements on six scientific-agent benchmarks. AI

IMPACT This work could accelerate the development of scientific discovery agents by providing a scalable method for creating diverse training environments.

    POSEIDON: Scaling Training Environments for Scientific Agents from Code Repositories

    arXiv:2610.32448v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training environments remain a major bottleneck for agents in data-driven scientific discovery. Existing collections of executable and verifiable training environments are small, and their construction remains difficult to scale. To…
