    Within the last years, core developers of the Octopus code
    (https://octopus-code.org) have started to integrate AI coding agents
    into their daily workflows. In this talk, we present several aspects
    that have been explored. In particular, we focus on two main directions:
    one consists of using AI agents to consolidate and improve the existing
    code base, and the second one is to implement...

    Modern materials simulations are increasingly evolving from predefined sequences of calculations toward adaptive computational processes in which subsequent steps depend on intermediate results. High-throughput screening, convergence studies, and multiscale simulations therefore require adaptive frameworks that can autonomously explore parameter spaces, assess results, and adapt computational...

    At FHI, agentic AI is being explored across a range of applications spanning computational and experimental research.
    We present three perspectives: an on-premise agentic AI platform supporting general-purpose assistance for data analysis, coding, and literature research;
    a multi-agent system for autonomous exploration of atomistic configuration spaces;
    and an agentic control loop combining...

    Artificial intelligence opens up new possibilities – and sometimes accelerates our thoughts to such an extent that we can barely keep up. At the same time, new obligations arise: data protection, the AI Regulation, good scientific practice. To ensure that good ideas do not fall by the wayside, what is needed is not a list of prohibitions, but reliable guidance: what is permitted and under what...

    Agentic AI is beginning to change how scientific discovery is done - moving from tools that answer a single prompt to assistants that can plan, reason across sources, and carry a research task through multiple steps. This session introduces what agentic AI means for the Max Planck research ecosystem: where it can genuinely accelerate discovery, how it can extract and connect knowledge across...

    Much of the day-to-day effort in research goes into writing code, wrangling data, and repetitive knowledge work - exactly the areas where agentic AI is maturing fastest. This session focuses on agentic AI as a practical productivity capability across the research lifecycle: AI-assisted software engineering for research code, and agentic assistants that can take on structured, multi-step tasks...
