K-Dense BYOK: An Open-Source AI Research Assistant That Keeps a Lab Notebook Its Own AI Cannot Rewrite

A new arXiv paper describes a free, MIT-licensed AI research assistant that runs on the scientist's own computer, keeps a lab notebook whose entries can never be erased, and records what the AI actually did in a log the AI cannot write to. The benchmark result is the authors' self-reported evaluation, and one design limitation sits in the abstract, not a footnote.
