Google DeepMind Expands Co-Scientist to Closed-Loop Laboratory Workflows

Google DeepMind researchers have released empirical results detailing an expanded version of Co-Scientist, transitioning the Gemini-based multi-agent system from purely computational hypothesis generation into a closed-loop research framework connected to physical laboratory instruments and automated code pipelines. Documented in an arXiv preprint by Samuel Schmidgall, Zhu, and collaborators, the system combines multi-agent ideation, deterministic execution scaffolding, and automated manuscript
