Latent Space: The AI Engineer Podcast · 🔬 Automating Science: World Models, Scientific Taste, Agent Loops — Andrew White · 28 Jan 2026 podcast

So it means like automated labs, it means like putting all the papers in one spot, like getting APIs wrapped around everything.

But um over time, like the models have gotten better and better that we had to like, you know, stop and rethink.

Okay, we don't actually have to hold their hands so much anymore.

Or like they don't actually need to necessarily have an automated lab.

They can like write an email to a CRO or something, or they can like tell you what experiment to do, and you can take a video of you doing it and then show it to the model and they can be like, okay, well, this is you know what happened.

So it's been a really interesting experience of like sometimes, you know, we over engineer things and sometimes uh

Uh well actually basically just mostly over engineered.

Yeah, I I think you're right.

Is that uh

Basically the the best model, um whatever, Opus seven or GPT ten, like um it really can only propose

The first experiment, maybe slightly more clever, but uh at a certain point you just need information, right?

Like some little calculations you can do that like there's more atoms in the brain than you could ever simulate, even if you had all the energy from the sun, right?

Like I think you could simulate maybe a thousand brains in real time with all the energy in the sun 'cause just too much information.

Yeah.

So science really hits these like bottlenecks where you just actually have to go measure things.

We definitely think about maybe like lab in the loop sort of situations.

Like one of our papers, which was called Robin, is that we like had an uh one of our agents propose an experiment.

We did the experiment and then we had our agent analyze the experiment and propose the next experiment.

Yeah.

And that kind of loop I think is where you want to get to.
