In this episode of Talking Machines, Vic and Alex dive into AgentRxiv, a new platform where autonomous AI agents collaborate, share papers, and build on each other's work—just like human scientists do.

They break down the paper “AgentRxiv: Towards Collaborative Autonomous Research” by Samuel Schmidgall and Michael Moor, exploring how AI research labs made up of digital scientists can now exchange ideas and accelerate discovery. From major gains on the MATH-500 benchmark to cross-domain reasoning improvements, this paper brings us one step closer to AI agents doing real scientific R&D.

Plus: Vic's still recovering from the Season 2 finale of Severance , and Alex reminds us fiction might slowly be becoming our new reality.
