ChaosBench-Logic v2: Evaluating LLM Logical Reasoning over Dynamical Systems at Scale

ChaosBench-Logic v2 is a 40,886-question benchmark designed to evaluate large language models’ logical reasoning about dynamical systems, featuring 165 systems, 27 first‑order logic predicates, and 78 axiom edges. The accompanying CARE protocol highlights failure modes such as prior collapse, paraphrase inconsistency, and difficulty with parameter‑dependent dynamics. In tests of 14 models, regime‑transition reasoning remains near random (MCC = 0.05), while first‑order deduction with given premises achieves MCC = 0.52, with proprietary models excelling in cross‑indicator and consistency tasks and open‑source Qwen 2.5‑32B leading indicator diagnostics.

ChaosBench-Logic: A Benchmark for Logical and Symbolic Reasoning on Chaotic Dynamical Systems

ChaosBench-Logic is a benchmark that tests large language models on logical and symbolic reasoning within chaotic dynamical systems. It covers 30 diverse systems, each annotated with 11 semantic predicates, and generates 621 questions across seven reasoning categories such as multi-hop implications, cross-system analogies, and counterfactual reasoning. The benchmark defines metrics for logical accuracy, implication consistency, dialogue coherence, and contradiction, and provides an open-source evaluation pipeline.

TempoBench: Reasoning Execution Without Causal Attribution Is Just Simulation

arXiv:2510. 27544v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Current training paradigms, optimized for long-horizon reasoning trace execution, have made Large Language Models (LLMs) excel at pattern matching and forward simulation of reasoning, but underperform at counterfactual causal understanding and reasoning.

Monitoring the Internal Monologue: Probe Trajectories Reveal Reasoning Dynamics

The paper investigates how monitoring the internal representations of Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) during their Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning can predict future behavior. By evaluating a probe at each generated token, the authors construct probe trajectories that capture the continuous evolution of a concept’s probability, and extract signal‑processing features to characterize volatility, trend, and steady‑state behavior. These trajectory features improve predictive performance over static probes, adding an average of 21.7 AUROC points, and the study demonstrates that template‑based training data and pooling operations are essential for effective monitoring across multiple reasoning models and datasets.

Can We Trust LLM's Logic? Quantifying Uncertainty, Coherence, and Robustness via a Graph-Based Framework

arXiv:2607. 08017v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large-Language Models (LLMs) can be prone to flawed and unfaithful reasoning that decoding strategies like Self-Consistency (SC) fail to detect as they evaluate only final-answer agreement while ignoring the logical validity of intermediate steps.

h1: A Taste of the Bitter Lesson in Automated Theorem Proving

The paper introduces h1, a simple agentic loop that interfaces a language model with Lean 4, avoiding complex human-designed workflows. h1 achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on benchmarks such as PutnamBench, FATE‑X, and FormalConjectures100‑Solved, solving eight open problems and matching or surpassing specialized systems like Goedel‑Architect and AlphaProof Nexus. Experiments show that an efficient Lean interface is crucial for cost and success, suggesting that future evaluations should prioritize execution feedback over elaborate workflows.
