Abstract
Abstract Many applications of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs), including photocatalysis, photovoltaics, chemical and biochemical sensing, and theranostics, are governed by NP optical properties. Exploration and identification of reaction conditions for the synthesis of NPs with targeted spectroscopic characteristics is a time‐, labor‐, and resource‐intensive task, as it involves the optimization of multiple interdependent reaction conditions. Integration of machine learning (ML) and microfluidics (MF) offers accelerated identification and optimization of reaction conditions for NP synthesis. Here, an autonomous ML‐driven, oscillatory MF platform for the synthesis of NPs is reported. The platform utilized multiple recipes and reaction times for the synthesis of NPs with different dimensions, conducted spectroscopic NP characterization, and employed ML approaches to analyze multiple yet prioritized spectroscopic NP characteristics, and identified reaction conditions for the synthesis of NPs with targeted optical properties. The platform is also used to develop an understanding of the relationship between reaction conditions and NP properties. This study shows the strong potential of ML‐driven oscillatory MF platforms in materials science and paves the way for automated NP development.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
