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

Like at the end of the day, there will be some report and we're working on generalizing this basically at the end of the day, like, okay, I made these discoveries.

And the person will be like, Great, I'm gonna download that one or I like that one, right?

I don't like this one.

And that rolls up to some hypothesis that came earlier in the process.

And so it w we think we can get to end to end on this as opposed to human preferences.

So you you mean the feedback loop is the click?

It could be the click.

It could be also like the, you know, it we do an experiment.

Sometimes in Cosmos you could ask to end an experiment, you can go see was the experiment of success or failure or something like that.

But I I guess like we we brought it out of this kind of like hard to quantify is this a good hypothesis or a bad hypothesis, and into this like you can see some downstream consequences of the hypothesis.

you know, I think when the co scientist paper came out from Google, I think it was a really

interesting idea to do this like tournament style or just pairwise ranking of hypotheses, right?

So I think cosine is very interesting.

Counter example to what we built is that what we built is something with either a lab in the loop or data analysis in the loop or literature research in the loop, where you're like iterating on an idea.

I think co-scientists took this like very different approach of like, let's list all the ideas and then try to come up with a filtration process to come up with the best hypotheses.

So co-scientists will produce very long reports of like, oh, we like really tested this idea with lots of dialogue and and and

It's very interesting stuff.

And I was really impressed with the paper that came out.

And then we had this Robin paper.

And one of the things that came out of the Robin paper is that the hypothesis that people thought was best was not the one that led to success in that paper.
