AgentFold: Closed-Loop Agentic Search for Protein Folding Model Design
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.26747v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientific LLM agents have shown promise in literature reasoning, tool use, and experiment planning, but it remains unclear whether they can autonomously improve large, tightly coupled scientific machine-learning systems through executable code changes and computationally expensive validation. We study this question in protein folding, where progress requires coordinated architectural modifications, multi-objective evaluation, and domain-aware interpretation. We present AgentFold, a multi-agent framework that formulates folding-model development
