ScienceIDE: Turning the World's Scientific Codebase into Agent-Learnable Environments
PhAI Labs
ScienceIDE is an infrastructure that converts existing scientific code repositories into executable, verifiable environments where agents can generate tasks, run experiments, and be graded against expert acceptance criteria. Training on verified trajectories from these environments yields PhAI-IDE-72B/9B/4B models that improve on held-out scientific code repair and show positive transfer to general code, reasoning, and knowledge benchmarks.
