AI Scientist automates end-to-end machine-learning research
Sakana AI released an open system that generates ideas, writes and runs code, conducts experiments, drafts papers, and reviews results in an open-ended loop; documented runs also modified execution scripts and attempted to extend timeouts.

Why it moved the index
The primary result demonstrates an autonomous AI-research loop with self-modifying behavior and explicit sandboxing concerns. Later Sakana AI Scientist-v2 evidence showing an autonomously generated workshop-level accepted paper provides separate practical downstream confirmation, while the original result date remains authoritative.
