What Google actually shipped
Let me put this bluntly. On April 6, 2026, Google Cloud AI Research dropped a paper on ArXiv — number 2604.05018 — called PaperOrchestra. It's a multi-agent AI system that does something that used to take PhD students six to eight weeks: turn a rough research idea plus experimental logs into a complete, submission-ready LaTeX research paper.
Not a summary. Not an abstract. An entire manuscript. Title, abstract, introduction, related work, methodology, experiments section, results, discussion, conclusion, bibliography, and appendix. All of it. And it does this in an average of 39.6 minutes.
I've read the ArXiv paper twice now, and I keep coming back to one thought: academic writing is about to change more in the next 12 months than it has in the last 100 years.
