arXiv:2607. 16617v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to automate data-processing workflows, yet coding agents typically produce scripts that are not automatically materialized as persistent, editable platform artifacts.
OSWorld-Science is a benchmark and evaluation environment for computer-using agents that use visual language models (VLMs) to perform scientific software tasks. It includes 12 VLMs and 146 high-quality tasks across domains such as molecular drawing, pathology image analysis, statistical computing, and physical simulation, with artifact-based evaluation and a harness that logs interactions and supports model comparison. The benchmark was developed through expert proposals and iterative human–AI co‑design, and results show that current VLMs still struggle with key scientific questions, offering insights into factors like language, reasoning, and context length.
arXiv:2606. 18425v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scientific workflow management systems (WMS) support scalable and reproducible execution of complex pipelines, but workflow design, implementation, and debugging remain largely manual and require significant expertise.

UniACE is a unified framework that standardizes the evaluation of large language model (LLM) agents by representing each benchmark as an instruction–tool–environment triplet and running models through a shared, task‑agnostic harness in isolated runtimes. It preserves native success criteria, offers an offline mode for dynamic‑resource tasks, and standardizes efficiency metrics, execution records, and failure attribution. Applying UniACE to 7 benchmarks across 24 domains and 15 models revealed significant score shifts, ranking reversals, and sensitivity to evidence representation, highlighting the impact of evaluation configuration on reported agent performance.

The study evaluates local open‑weight large language model agents for data‑engineering tasks, using a benchmark of fifteen mobility‑workflow tasks that cover discovery, processing, enrichment, and reporting. Ten local model configurations were tested in one‑shot and closed‑loop conditions, producing 1,500 scored attempts on a consumer‑grade GPU. Results show that models larger than two billion parameters achieve up to 85.3% artifact‑level success, with closed‑loop workspaces boosting pass rates by 26.7–52.0 percentage points, and a quantized 9‑billion‑parameter model reaching 69.3% success with a 6.5 GB memory footprint.
D3‑Gym is the first automatically constructed dataset that provides verifiable environments for scientific data‑driven discovery, comprising 565 tasks from 239 real scientific repositories across four disciplines. Each task includes a natural‑language instruction, an executable environment with pre‑installed dependencies, dataset previews, a reference solution, and an automatically synthesized evaluation script that achieves 87.5% agreement with human‑annotated gold standards. Training on trajectories sampled from D3‑Gym consistently improves Qwen3 models on ScienceAgentBench, and the platform also serves as a testbed for studying agentic optimization loops such as Autoresearch on real scientific workflows.
Harness-Bench is a diagnostic benchmark that evaluates how different harness configurations affect LLM agent performance in realistic workflows. It tests 106 sandboxed offline tasks across multiple model backends, recording artifacts, execution traces, and usage statistics to analyze completion, process quality, efficiency, and failure behavior. The study finds significant variation in outcomes across model-harness pairings, indicating that agent capability should be reported at the configuration level rather than solely by the base model.
