OSS2026-07-30 · source-backed
synthetic-sciences/openscience (2,938 stars), aipoch/open-science (1,154) and ai4s-research/open-science (1,031) were all created July 3, all describe a local-first model-agnostic AI research workbench, none are GitHub forks of each other, and all three were pushed July 30. The largest runs the full loop: literature review, hypothesis, code, real-compute experiments, scientific-database queries, write-up, with research/biology/physics/ml specialist agents. A same-day three-way name collision none of the three abandoned four weeks later is a category-formation signal, and a genuine naming hazard when you go to install one.
