arXiv:2607.03863v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Artificial intelligence has advanced scientific discovery, but most AI4Science systems remain fragmented tools that rely on humans to coordinate problem formulation, literature grounding, model use, simulation, validation, and knowledge reuse. This paper presents \textbf{SCION (Scientific Collaborative Innovation with Agentic Organizational Nexus)}, an agentic scientific operating system that acts as an \textbf{organizational nexus}. Through a Science Agent serving as a \textbf{Meta-Harness}, SCION connects scientific tasks, tools, agents, ar
The rapid advancement in large language models and agentic AI capabilities is enabling the development of more sophisticated autonomous systems capable of complex problem-solving and coordination, prompting a rethink of scientific methodologies.
This development suggests a potential transformation of the scientific discovery process, shifting from human-coordinated efforts to AI-orchestrated 'organizational nexus' that significantly accelerates research cycles and innovation.
The fragmented nature of current AI4Science tools is being addressed by integrated agentic operating systems, moving towards AI-driven coordination across all stages of scientific inquiry.

SCION or similar systems will directly accelerate the pace and complexity of scientific discovery.
This acceleration could lead to breakthroughs in previously intractable scientific challenges, creating new industries and market opportunities.
The integration of AI as a 'Meta-Harness' for science could fundamentally alter the relationship between humans and knowledge creation, redefining both scientific labor and the nature of discovery itself.
