abstract
We present DeepInflation, an AI agent designed for research and model discovery in inflationary cosmology. Built upon a multi-agent architecture, DeepInflation integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) with a symbolic regression (SR) engine and a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) knowledge base. This framework enables the agent to automatically explore and verify the vast landscape of inflationary potentials while grounding its outputs in established theoretical literature. We demonstrate that DeepInflation can successfully discover simple and viable single-field slow-roll inflationary potentials consistent with the latest observations (with the ACT DR6 results taken as an example) or any given $n_s$ and $r$, and provide accurate theoretical context for obscure inflationary scenarios. DeepInflation serves as a prototype for a new generation of autonomous scientific discovery engines in cosmology, which enables researchers and non-experts alike to explore the inflationary landscape using natural language. This agent is available at https://github.com/pengzy-cosmo/DeepInflation.

QMP-Bench supplies a realistic test set for AI on quantum many-body problems while PhysVEC uses integrated verifiers to turn unreliable LLM generations into code that passes both syntax and physics checks, outperforming baselines.
MCMC comparison of projected PBH correlation functions with z≈6 quasar angular auto-correlation data yields posterior constraints f_PBH∼10^{-3}, m_PBH∼10^{12}M_⊙ for Poisson models and ξ_eff≃2.1, r_cl≃76 Mpc for clustered models.
Four Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet inflationary models are reconstructed from a chosen tensor-to-scalar ratio and shown to satisfy ACT and GW170817 constraints including scalar perturbation amplitude.
Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet inflation can yield positive spectral-index running with a viable era under ACT-like hints, while scalar-field and F(R) models largely cannot.
MCMC analysis of sixteen ghost-free f(R,G) inflation models shows all reproduce ns ≈ 0.97 at 60 e-folds with stable μ ≈ 0.1, preference set by Hubble parametrization.
Reheating temperature and equation-of-state parameter assumptions in Weyl-invariant Einstein-Cartan gravity models significantly alter predicted inflationary observables.
