GeoFitBench-LLM: A Benchmark for Assessing Large Language Models' Capabilities in Geospatial Data Requirements Elicitation for Geo-Analytic Tasks

GeoFitBench-LLM is a benchmark designed to evaluate large language models (LLMs) on their ability to elicit geospatial data requirements for geo‑analytic tasks. It focuses on two reasoning dimensions—spatio‑temporal relational and semantic grounding—and uses a provider‑independent schema to encode ground‑truth requirements. Experiments on seven models show that while many can identify necessary resources, accurately specifying fitness‑for‑use remains challenging, with GPT‑5.4 Thinking recovering all resources in 66.67% of cases.

Network-based Spatial Context Retrieval for Open-weight LLMs: A Faithfulness Benchmark for Grounded Geographic Reasoning

The paper introduces a network‑based spatial context retrieval pipeline that uses pedestrian street networks and open data (OpenStreetMap, GHS‑POP) to generate compact spatial briefs for open‑weight large language models. It then builds a faithfulness benchmark that labels each model claim by its source—whether grounded in the brief or drawn from training knowledge—and tests models against planted false premises across multiple cities and model configurations. The study finds that model family and generation influence resistance to false premises more than model size, revealing dimensions of spatial reasoning not captured by traditional correctness metrics.

GeoNatureAgent Benchmark: Benchmarking LLM Agents for Environmental Geospatial Analysis Across Frontier and Open-Weight Foundation Models

arXiv:2606. 12821v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Environmental scientists spend disproportionate effort on data wrangling rather than analysis, and AI agents that automate geospatial workflows remain unvalidated: no benchmark evaluates agents operating through structured tool calling against real APIs.
