Agentic programs: an emerging form of scientific software in computational materials science

Le résumé fourni par la source

Computational materials science has traditionally delegated algorithmic tasks to computers while leaving scientific judgments to humans. We argue that recent LLM-based agent harnesses enable an emerging form of scientific software, agentic programs, that combine deterministic algorithms with bounded LLM-based judgment, task-specific verification, episodic maturation, and complete delegation in production. We illustrate this concept with DeMARS, an agentic program for constructing atomistic models from experimentally measured disordered crystal structures.
