RuleWeaver is a benchmark construction framework designed to evaluate large language models’ ability to reason over complex, rule‑centered scenarios. It begins with corpus‑derived IF‑THEN meta rules, expands them into more intricate rules, and composes these into scenario‑based QA instances. The benchmark assesses not only final answer correctness but also process‑level metrics such as rubric‑based answer quality, rule recall, and rule precision, revealing that current LLMs achieve only about 50% of the maximum rubric score on these tasks.

LiveMathematicianBench is a dynamic multiple‑choice benchmark for research‑level mathematical reasoning, built from recent arXiv papers published after model training cutoffs. It introduces a thirteen‑category logical taxonomy of theorem types and uses a proof‑sketch‑guided distractor pipeline to create plausible but invalid answer choices, enhancing sensitivity to genuine reasoning. Evaluation shows current large language models perform poorly, with the best model scoring 43.5% overall and only 17.6% under substitution‑resistant conditions, indicating the benchmark’s difficulty and realism.
