AIM: Agentic Idea Management for Automated Research
AIM manages research ideas with Bayesian-style selection, beating AutoLab baselines by up to 4.9 points and converging 3.1x faster.
The Agentic Idea Manager (AIM) autonomously organizes, selects, and implements research ideas during idea-driven automated research. Inspired by Bayesian optimization, it pairs an Agentic Surrogate and Acquisition mechanism with a Solution Auditor and a budget-aware Resource Planner. On 10 AutoLab tasks, AIM beats the strongest baseline by 1.6 points on system optimization and 4.9 points on long-horizon model development and CUDA tasks, reaching that baseline up to 3.1x faster.
- AIM selects ideas with an agentic surrogate and acquisition mechanism.
- A Solution Auditor preserves alignment between ideas and implementations.
- Gains are 1.6 points on optimization and 4.9 on model and CUDA tasks.
- It matches the best baseline up to 3.1 times faster.

Frontier LLMs are increasingly used to automate scientific research through iterative search. We distinguish idea-driven search from solution-driven search and identify three core challenges: organizing evolving research ideas, selecting promising directions, and maintaining alignment between ideas and their implementations.
