Scientific computing in the age of agentic AI
Yet the software needed to analyze scientific information has struggled to keep pace with the rapid rate of data generation. Many widely used research tools began as code accompanying a research paper, built by small academic teams with limited engineering experience and minimal time for packaging, testing, optimization, or long-term support. The result is scientific infrastructure that often depends on slow, fragile workflows requiring constant maintenance.
