Generative-AI evaluations can become historical before publication, yet calendar age does not affect every conclusion equally. This paper has two linked purposes.

The study examined biomedical research articles from 2022 to March 2026 that employed large language models (LLMs). It found that 42% of the most frequently used models were already retired or scheduled to retire within two years of publication, with a median retirement interval of 538 days. This high rate of model deprecation threatens the reproducibility of biomedical AI research.

The paper introduces a six‑stage audit framework for assessing reproducibility in computer science literature and applies it to the neuro‑symbolic AI (NSAI) subfield. Using the framework, the authors screened 5,497 records, identified 1,304 eligible studies, and found verifiable code artifacts for only 455 of them. Of those, they fully or partially reproduced 85 studies, representing 6.52% of the eligible corpus and 18.68% of attempted reruns, highlighting a significant reproducibility gap even when code is declared available.

Turning a research idea into a complete paper requires more than text generation: the system must retrieve literature, design and execute experiments, revise claims according to evidence, produce publication-ready figures, and maintain consistency across a long generation process. We present Spark-to-Paper, an end-to-end research paper generation system implemented as thirteen composable skills inside an existing coding assistant, without requiring a separate agent platform or orchestration service.

TruthInsightBench is a new benchmark designed to evaluate automated scientific discovery agents by presenting them with 40 blind tasks drawn from peer‑reviewed studies across ten domains. Each task provides only a neutral objective and frozen data, withholding source conclusions, expected values, and analysis paths, forcing agents to determine which claim the data support. A fixed LLM‑based judge scores agents on evidentiary maturity across six dimensions, using 29 artifact‑grounded items, enabling fully automated, repeatable evaluation without human grading.
INDRA is a research platform that integrates multiple archival collections—such as UCSF’s Industry Documents Library, Columbia and CUNY’s ToxicDocs, and Stanford’s SRITA—into a single, LLM‑readable corpus. It employs three safeguards: a closed evidentiary sandbox, real‑time provenance tagging, and a deterministic system‑level protocol to ensure that model outputs are clearly distinguished from archival evidence and from the model’s own inferences. The platform enables large‑language‑model‑powered investigations across these archives while keeping the conditions of knowledge production transparent and auditable.
