DSAgentBench: Can Agents Automate End-to-End Data-Science Workflows in Real Computer Environments?

arXiv:2608. 10366v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Real-world data science involves long-horizon workflows that span data wrangling, exploration, modeling, visualization, and validation, and require coordinated use of tools such as notebooks, IDEs, terminals, browsers, and databases within real operating environments.

DataFlow-Harness: A Grounded Code-Agent Platform for Constructing Editable LLM Data Pipelines

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.

OpenAl4S: Code as Action, Science as Sessions

OpenAI4S is an open‑source scientific research agent that treats code as action and science as sessions, combining a persistent computing runtime with structured session management. It uses tool calls for orchestration, executes code cells in persistent Python and R kernels, and records an append‑only Action Ledger, per‑cell execution logs, versioned artifacts, environment snapshots, and workspace checkpoints to preserve provenance and enable session recovery, branching, and extension. Evaluated on 36 research scenarios—including retrosynthesis, molecular dynamics, and protein design—OpenAI4S achieved a higher overall score (7.83) than a general‑purpose coding harness, especially on long‑horizon, computation‑intensive workflows, though reproducibility remains an open challenge. whyItMatters":"The system demonstrates that persistent execution coupled with session‑level provenance can enhance the reliability of AI‑assisted scientific workflows, as evidenced by its superior performance across diverse research scenarios."

D3-Gym: Constructing Real-World Verifiable Environments for Data-Driven Discovery

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.

Can Coding Agents Reproduce Findings in Computational Materials Science?

The paper introduces AutoMat, a benchmark designed to test large language model (LLM) coding agents on their ability to reproduce claims from computational materials science. AutoMat presents three challenges: reconstructing underspecified procedures, navigating specialized toolchains, and assessing whether the evidence supports a claim. Experiments show that current LLM agents achieve low success rates, with the best setting reaching only 53%, and failures stem mainly from incomplete procedures, methodological deviations, and execution fragility.

The Hard Part Comes After Search: Benchmarking Web Agents on Synthesizing, Organizing, and Displaying Knowledge

The paper introduces KNOWS, a benchmark for evaluating web agents that act as assistants by retrieving, synthesizing, and presenting information across complex, multi-step browser tasks. It outlines a task design rubric, evaluation protocol combining deterministic checks with LLM judgments, and reports that current agents achieve only modest success, with the best performing agent succeeding on less than 3% of tasks. The study highlights significant gaps in agents’ tool use, visual understanding, and long‑horizon reasoning.
