Scientific replication is the grind work of research: parse a methodology, reconstruct the inputs, execute the procedure, check the output against the original results.
It is also the step that most AI agents cannot do reliably.
British AI lab Inherent, founded by DeepMind alumni, released an agent called Faraday that it says clears the full replication sequence and outperformed systems from Anthropic and OpenAI in doing so.
The replication problem Execution fidelity across a full methodological chain is where automated scientific work breaks. An agent can read a paper and still fail to reproduce it.
