How to use this page

Low trust

Use this as background context only. Do not make protocol decisions from this page alone.

Best use

Background context only

What to verify

Validate the evaluation procedure and quality controls in the full paper before operational use.

Evidence quality

Low

Derived from extracted protocol signals and abstract evidence.

Abstract

Protein scientific discovery is bottlenecked by the manual orchestration of information and algorithms, while general agents are insufficient in complex domain projects. VenusFactory2 provides an autonomous framework that shifts from static tool usage to dynamic workflow synthesis via a self-evolving multi-agent infrastructure to address protein-related demands. It outperforms a set of well-known agents on the VenusAgentEval benchmark, and autonomously organizes the discovery and optimization of proteins from a single natural language prompt.

Abstract-only analysis — low confidence

All signals on this page are inferred from the abstract only and may be inaccurate. Do not use this page as a primary protocol reference.

  • This paper looks adjacent to evaluation work, but not like a strong protocol reference.
  • The available metadata is too thin to trust this as a primary source.
