Sakana claims its AI-generated paper passed peer review — but it’s a bit more nuanced than that


Sakana said its AI generated the first peer-reviewed scientific publication. But while the claim isn't untrue, there are caveats to note.

The AI Scientist-v2 generated the papers “end-to-end,” Sakana claims, including the scientific hypotheses, experiments and experimental code, data analyses, visualizations, text, and titles.

In a blog post, Sakana admits that its AI occasionally made “embarrassing” citation errors, for example incorrectly attributing a method to a 2016 paper instead of the original 1997 work.
