An NVIDIA research team released Agora (arXiv:2609.18094, Yifan Zhang, Jan Kautz, Yi Dong et al.), using Git as shared memory for collective AutoResearch agents.
- Core idea: research is recorded as an append-only DAG in Git — every result, insight, hypothesis, verification, and report is an immutable commit any worker can check out and rerun. Git history is the only state; nothing else passes between workers.
- Three mechanisms: a derived index exposes the frontier, neglected branches, and verification status of each claim; a diversity-aware selection rule keeps the community from collapsing onto a single leader branch; negative results and independent verification are publicly tracked.
- Rationale: the authors argue a research community needs state that outlives any worker — a public frontier, immutable lineage, negative results, independent verification, and attention-spreading without dictating workflow.
Paper, project site, and code are all public.
