Everything you need for autonomous research paper generation, built for reliability and quality.
Searches OpenAlex (primary, 10K/day), Semantic Scholar, and arXiv in parallel. Intelligent source fallback ensures results even when individual APIs are rate-limited.
Five-layer defense: adaptive rate limiter, three-state circuit breaker, multi-source fallback, intelligent caching with per-source TTL, and request optimization via S2 batch API.
Experiments run in isolated Docker containers based on nvidia/cuda:12.4.1 with PyTorch, GPU passthrough, network sandboxing, and pre-cached datasets (CIFAR-10, FashionMNIST).
Automatically detects available GPU memory and adjusts experiment parameters (batch size, model size, training epochs) to fit within hardware constraints.
Simulated conference-style peer review with multiple LLM reviewer personas providing structured feedback on technical soundness, methodology, and clarity.
After analyzing experiment results, the pipeline autonomously decides whether to proceed with paper writing, refine the experiment, or pivot to a new hypothesis (max 2 pivots).
Automatically generates publication-quality comparison charts, filtering out timing/meta metrics. Supports bar charts, learning curves, and ablation visualizations.
Outputs publication-quality LaTeX with proper bibliography, figure placement, and conference formatting (NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML templates).
Every cited paper is verified against real academic databases (CrossRef, OpenAlex, arXiv, Semantic Scholar) in optimized order to minimize API pressure.
Per-source cache TTL: arXiv results cached 24h (daily metadata updates), S2/OpenAlex 3 days, citation verification results cached permanently.
Built-in seed library of foundational ML papers (normalization, ResNets, transformers, etc.) injected during literature search to ensure key references are cited.
Generated experiment code is validated for security (no network access, no subprocess calls, no file system writes outside workspace) before Docker execution.
Automatically detects contradictions in experiment results: null findings, negative results, and cases where control outperforms proposed method.
Built-in quality scoring across novelty, soundness, significance, clarity, and reproducibility. Papers below threshold trigger rewriting.
Research findings are archived in a persistent knowledge base (Markdown-backed) for cross-project knowledge transfer and future reference.
Optional QLoRA/LoRA fine-tuning support for adapting language models to specific research domains and writing styles.
