ScienceIDE: Turning World's Scientific Codebase into Agent Learnable Environments
ScienceIDE converts scientific code repositories into verifiable agent training environments, producing the PhAI-IDE 4B-72B model family.
ScienceIDE turns scientific code repositories into executable environments supporting task generation, execution, and scientific verification, guided by expert-defined scientific cases and acceptance criteria. Using verified interaction trajectories, the authors train PhAI-IDE-72B, PhAI-IDE-9B, and PhAI-IDE-4B. The model family shows gains in held-out scientific-code repair and selected general-purpose code, reasoning, and knowledge benchmarks, evidencing positive transfer from scientific experience.

Scientific code repositories encode decades of human knowledge in executable models, methods, and tools. Yet fragmented toolchains, implicit domain conventions, and specialized correctness criteria make this knowledge difficult to convert into reliable learning experience-a challenge we call the scientific experience bottleneck. We introduce ScienceIDE, infrastructure for turning the world's scientific code into programmable environments for scientific agents. Guided by expert-defined scientific cases and acceptance criteria, agents transform repositories into executable environments that support task generation, execution, and scientific verification. These environments provide a shared foundation for supervised fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, and evaluation. Using verified interaction trajectories, we train PhAI-IDE-72B, PhAI-IDE-9B, and PhAI-IDE-4B. The model family shows gains in held-out scientific-code repair and across selected general-purpose benchmarks in code, reasoning, and knowledge, providing evidence of positive transfer from scientific experience to broader capabilities. ScienceIDE lays the foundation for an integrated workspace for agent learning and scientific practice, making humanity's scientific software a shared substrate for developing scientific intelligence.
