Toward a Locally Deployable Agentic Co-Scientist: Small-Model Planning for Early-Stage Drug Discovery

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.04740v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Early-stage computational drug discovery requires coordinating heterogeneous scientific tools across multi-step workflows. We present a lightweight, tool-augmented framework in which a locally deployable compact language model plans calls to 18 modular tools. A Unified Molecular Schema maintains shared molecular records, while a plug-in interface supports tool replacement and extension. We construct 1,263 manually refined query-plan pairs through w
