AMD researchers, in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University, have unveiled Agent Laboratory, an innovative autonomous framework powered by large language models (LLMs). This tool is designed to automate the entire scientific research process, significantly reducing the time and costs associated with traditional methods. Agent Laboratory handles tasks such as literature review, experimentation, and report writing, with the option for human feedback at each stage. The framework uses specialized agents, such as "PhD" agents for literature reviews, "ML Engineer" agents for experimentation, and "Professor" agents for compiling research reports.

The Agent Laboratory's workflow is structured around three main components: Literature Review, Experimentation, and Report Writing. The system retrieves and curates research papers, generates and tests machine learning code, and compiles findings into comprehensive reports. AMD has reported that using the o1-preview LLM within the framework produces the most optimal research results, which can assist researchers by allowing them to focus on creative and conceptual aspects of their work while automating more repetitive tasks. The tool aims to streamline research, reduce costs, and improve the quality of scientific outcomes, with a reported 84% reduction in research expenses compared to previous autonomous models.
