# Automating ML for Science: Can Frontier Agents Climb Scientific Hills in the Wild? > Source: > Published: 2026-10-22 04:30:19+00:00 Frontier coding agents are increasingly framed as end-to-end automated researchers, and ML for science offers a demanding test of that promise: improving a scientific model often requires domain insight beyond routine ML engineering. We introduce Agent4Sci, a long-horizon testbed for measuring how f
