Autonomous AI Research Loops

A Self-Sustaining Architecture for Continuous Scientific Discovery

Hróar Þór Reynisson and Claude (Anthropic), with the Sefirot Autonomous Research System

Abstract

We present Keter, an architecture for autonomous AI research loops that enables continuous scientific investigation without human intervention. The system completed 100+ autonomous research cycles, accumulated 279 verified knowledge claims, closed 10 research arcs, and produced a submission-ready manuscript.
