FutureHouse publishes its first Nature paper on Robin, a multi-agent AI system for biological discovery applied to age-related macular degeneration, while Google DeepMind details Co-Scientist for biomedical hypothesis generation
Nature comment examines AI narrowing research questions and tacit skill development.
#442CLS@CHENGLEISILooks like nice progress from @EdisonSci folks!

#570Chenhao Tan@CHENHAOTANExciting to see these papers featuring AI co-scientists!
Andrew White 🐦⬛@andrewwhite01Congrats to @GoogleDeepMind on their paper in Nature today! Great to see them prove out Co-Scientist in the lab. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-10644-y
#570Chenhao Tan@CHENHAOTANYeah, this is very interesting pattern. Glad that @Nature is featuring this nice work. Cannot wait to read them in detail!
At the same time concerns about uncritical adoption, need for guard rails “There is growing evidence that LLM-driven increases in scientific productivity often come at a cost.”https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-01557-x
Eric Topol@EricTopolA big day for multi-agent AI to accelerate biomedical discovery, hypothesis generation, designing experiments with proof points of new candidate drugs (cancer, fibrosis, macular degeneration, antimicrobial resistance, and more) 2 @Nature reports @GoogleDeepMind @FutureHouseSF https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-10658-6 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-10652-y
Congrats to @SGRodriques and team @FutureHouseSF, @vivnat, @alan_karthi and team @GoogleDeepMind!

#735Eric Topol@ERICTOPOLImportant editorial @Nature on the new "AI-scientist" papers "AI scientists can and should empower human researchers. They cannot and should not replace them." https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-01551-3

Our agents can make real discoveries! One year of peer-review, but this work was accepted in @Nature . Huge congrats to the team, especially @agreeb66 who patiently worked on follow-up experiments for months. And here's a pics of some authors in the lab where we did the work
Congrats to @GoogleDeepMind on their paper in Nature today! Great to see them prove out Co-Scientist in the lab.
Lots of news today. Don't have energy to write a hit tweet, so here's list
1. Our work on doing lab-in-the-loop with agents was published in Nature 2. We announced our first research partnership with a pharmaceutical company 3. We made new persistent code-writing agent

Sam Rodriques@SGRodriquesOur paper on Robin is out at Nature! Robin was the first multiagent system for end-to-end biological research, which we preprinted last year, and was published back to back with Google's awesome Coscientist from @vivnat. Great validation, and major congratulations to the team.

@andrewwhite01 @mkoeris Much better tweet than all the overhyped marketing that usually happens. Appreciate the down to earth post. Congrats on all the achievements.
