Can research agents get better at science by learning from the research they do?
Introducing DiscoveryRSI 🧬: a framework that turns hypothesis-driven research into a recursive self-improvement loop.
📄 Paper: arxiv.org
💻 Code: Gen-Verse/DiscoveryRSI
🔴 Live Arena: foundry-arena.rsi-arena.workers.dev
🔹 What is a valuable hypothesis?
We define it as a joint object H = (claim, investigation plan, decision criteria, alternative explanations). A hypothesis is valuable if resolving it would change a research decision. It is testable if the plan can produce evidence that supports, weakens, or bounds the claim.
🔹 How it works
- Lead, Generation, Evolution, Critique and Progress agents grow hypothesis trees through evolve / repair / crossover / restart
- Every version stays linked to its evidence, data, assessments and contribution records
- Selected plans compile into executable Harbor tasks
🔹 Three self-improvement mechanisms
① Hypothesis credit optimization: blinded TrueSkill assessments assign bounded credit to the agent steps that actually contributed, and DiscoveryRSI-27B is trained only on those steps (Qwen3.8-27B init, 256K context; 2,397 of 15,792 trajectories kept; 2.12% of tokens supervised)
② Harness replay: diagnose recurring failures such as repeated exploration, failed tool use, lost artifacts and premature closure, then refine the workflow
③ Rediscovery: run the accepted model and harness updates on fresh questions
🔹 Results (DFM-Bench, 4 life-science domains)
- Hypothesis quality 4.86 → 5.18 → 5.39 over two rounds
- Falsifiability 4.00 → 6.20, alternative explanations 4.44 → 5.98, data resolvability 3.73 → 4.99
- Evolve/repair share 77.5% → 91.7%, restarts 21.7% → 5.0%: the agent learns to keep developing an idea instead of starting over
- Caveat: importance and novelty dip slightly. The model learns to design better tests, not yet to choose bolder questions.
🔹 Expert review
27 physicians and bioscience researchers scored 292 anonymized proposals:
- 41% of DiscoveryRSI-27B revisions improve quality vs 31% (GPT-5.6 Sol) and 25% (GPT-6 Luna)
- Only 12% make things worse vs 32% and 31%
🔹 Does it anticipate real science?
Against 16,440 publications filtered by each model's cutoff, 6.3% of DiscoveryRSI-27B's hypotheses connect to later published research (16.9% in therapeutic targets). Comparison: DeepSeek 5.4%, GLM 2.8%, GPT 2.5%, Claude 2.3%.
Watch six models do research in real time in DiscoveryRSI Arena, and follow every proposal, critique and compile step 👇

DiscoveryRSI: Recursively Learning to Discover Valuable Hypotheses
Scientific discovery requires developing worthwhile hypotheses into practical investigations, yet learning from this evolving research process remains challenging. We introduce an operational definition of valuable and testable research hypotheses: evidence-grounded claims about consequential uncertainties, coupled with feasible investigations, explicit decision criteria, and alternative explanations. Our DiscoveryRSI framework develops hypothesis trees through multi-agent evolutionary search, compiles selected investigations into executable Harbor tasks, and recursively learns through three mechanisms: hypothesis credit optimization attributes scientific assessments to documented research contributions; harness replay identifies productive strategies and recurring failures to refine research workflows; and rediscovery applies accepted improvements to new investigations, generating further experience for subsequent learning. We also introduce DFM-Bench, which provides comprehensive assessment of hypothesis quality and cumulative research progress at the levels of hypotheses, revisions, development paths and research runs. Across four life-science domains, automated evaluation shows that hypothesis quality rises from 4.86 for the base model to 5.39 after two rounds of self-improvement, with the large gains in falsifiability and data resolvability. We further validate hypothesis quality through expert review, comparing our DiscoveryRSI-27B with other research agents. Preliminary human assessments show that DiscoveryRSI-27B scores higher than GPT-6 Luna on hypothesis importance and whether claims are plausible and evidence-bounded. DiscoveryRSI-27B achieved a 6.3% rate of hypothesis correspondence with research published after the model cutoff, largely outperform GPT-6 with 2.5% and Claude Opus 5 with 2.3%, while delivering greater human-rated improvement along research paths.
