Hundreds of scientists come together through collaborative efforts to accomplish a shared goal during scientific discovery processes. Current workflows generate research independently, yet they cannot continually enhance previous discoveries because researchers work separately from one another. AgentRxiv, introduced by researchers from Johns Hopkins University and ETH Zurich, presents a system that solves these challenges by enabling LLM agent laboratories to collaborate via their shared preprint server that permits report uploading and retrieval. The performance of agents becomes superior when they gain access to past research because AgentRxiv’s research findings confirm this conclusion. By comparing it to the baseline on MATH-500, this approach yields a total accuracy gain of 13.7%. The collaborative framework of AgentRxiv enables multiple agent laboratories to find common objectives faster by sharing their research, thus supporting scientific discovery.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The AI Scientist framework uses LLM technology to experiment alongside developing source codes, which produces scientific research output and automates peer review processes. Together with Virtual Lab’s LLM-based specialist network, which has different fields of expertise, human scientists have developed new nanobody binders for SARS-CoV-2<\/a>. The autonomous research system Agent Laboratory brings human input into operation at a decreased price point through its multi-agent autonomous design. Research tools exist independently but cannot achieve the sustained development that happens through time-based research accumulation. LLM agents receive support through the establishment of a standardized platform that enables them to construct on previously conducted research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AgentRxiv: A Collaborative open-source server<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The work introduces AgentRxiv, which represents an autonomous research cooperation infrastructure that enables LLM agents to create scientific research alongside information sharing and expansion. AgentRxiv exists as an open-source centralized preprint server for autonomous agents, which enables systematic research results exchange, thus allowing agents to use previous work as building blocks over time. AgentRxiv provides simultaneous research domains, enabling researchers to expand their work because of available computational resources. Every new article version published in AgentRxiv showcases detectable benefits from its system integration. The optimal reasoning strategy applied to GPT-4o mini as the basic model resulted in a 78.2% accuracy rate on the MATH-500 benchmark, while the baseline scored 70.2%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research has confirmed that logic approaches developed through the MATH-500 application can improve performance across different language models and benchmarks, including GPQA, MMLU-Pro, and MedQA tests using DeepSeek-v3 to Gemini-2.0 pro. The parallelized operation system produces a speed-time performance trade-off to maintain computational efficiency even though it speeds up real-time execution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Researchers can see and analyze research results produced by autonomous agents using AgentRxiv, which is deployed as a local web application. In addition to routes for posting, searching, and viewing papers, the web application offers an API endpoint that returns search results in JSON format. An update process synchronizes the database with the accessible files after the system extracts the text and basic metadata from a paper that an agent uploads. AgentRxiv uses a similarity-based search method for retrieval. Text embeddings are computed for both the stored papers and incoming queries using a SentenceTransformer model that has already been trained.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
