YashasGunderia · x · 2026-11-05
The author published the research write-up behind Translucent: "Language agents for autonomous experimental engineering."
- The paper covers the experiments, the system built, what the models actually decided, and where the approach still falls short
- The stated opportunity is letting agents handle more of the investigation around methods: understanding unfamiliar data, deciding what to measure, and working through results
- Code and evaluation reports are public
