EngiWorld is a new benchmark that tests autonomous agents across the full engineering design loop, covering 1,301 expert‑curated tasks in six domains (CAD, CAE, CAM, BIM, EDA, and 3D visualization) and 26 professional software platforms with both GUI and CLI interfaces. It introduces an artifact‑centric evaluation method that programmatically verifies geometric validity, physical feasibility, and rule compliance of both final and intermediate artifacts, scoring tasks continuously rather than with binary success. Initial tests of seven frontier models show a large capability gap, with the best model scoring only 44.3 on the EngiScore and just 3.6% of multi‑software attempts succeeding.

The paper introduces Pufibara, an agent harness designed to maintain engineering state and evidence across revisions in Modelica-based physical system modeling. It also presents a 232-task Modelica Agent Workflow Benchmark covering model repair, generation, and tuning, evaluated by an external benchmark-owned evaluator. Experiments show Pufibara outperforms Claude Code in task success and resource efficiency across two LLM backends.

arXiv:2606. 17819v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agent skills -- structured, reusable knowledge artifacts that augment LLM agent capabilities -- have been rapidly adopted in industry, yet their cross-domain impact and use across commercial and open-source models remain under-studied, and no reusable methodology exists for evaluating an individual skill.

The paper introduces TerminalHorizon, an automated engine that synthesizes long‑horizon trajectories for terminal agents by reconstructing environments from real‑world professional work and progressively expanding tasks to require further exploration and improvement. Using this engine, the authors create 1.5K task environments and fine‑tune Qwen3.5‑27B, producing TerminalHorizon‑27B, which shows significant performance gains across 12 benchmarks in coding, agentic production tasks, and reasoning. Case studies demonstrate the model’s ability to experiment beyond initial solutions, refine methods based on feedback, and preserve effective improvements in final deliverables.

HyperLogic is a forward‑construction benchmark for Chinese logical reasoning that decouples problem authoring from answer generation. It employs a multi‑agent workflow to harden undergraduate‑authored seeds, translate items into executable finite‑domain models, and adjudicate solver‑derived answers under human oversight. The benchmark includes a Base set of 195 items (922 sub‑questions) and a Hard set of 100 items, revealing significant performance gaps among frontier models and demonstrating the challenges of faithful formalization even with tool support.
