arXiv:2607. 15686v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present S1-Omni, a unified multimodal reasoning model for scientific understanding, prediction, and generation.
We present S1-Omni-Image, an open-weight unified multimodal model for scientific image understanding, generation, and editing. Unlike general-purpose image generation models, scientific image tasks require not only high-fidelity synthesis, but also robust understanding of scientific semantics, structural relations, domain knowledge, and task intent.
arXiv:2608. 13505v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientific discovery increasingly requires AI systems that can reason over scientific evidence of heterogeneous modalities, interact with scientific tools and environments, and sustain progress across long task horizons.
arXiv:2607. 20557v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scientific discovery is increasingly shifting from isolated disciplines to multi-domain reasoning, and AI for science faces a similar transition.
OmniPhys is a large-scale multimodal benchmark designed to evaluate physics understanding and reasoning in models. It contains 15,246 questions and 19,850 images sourced from Chinese educational materials ranging from middle school to university level, with detailed annotations for fine-grained analysis. The benchmark also tests models’ ability to generate structured physics diagrams, a key component of authentic problem solving, and highlights gaps in current multimodal large language models.

OmniVCBench is a figure‑centric, source‑traceable benchmark designed to evaluate the interpretation component of Artificial Intelligence Virtual Cells (AIVCs). It comprises 6,077 curated question–answer pairs drawn from scientific figures and experimental contexts, organized into three scientific reasoning tasks that mirror the AIVC Predict–Explain–Discover agenda. The benchmark also introduces AIVC‑Judge, a task‑conditioned MLLM‑as‑a‑judge framework with reference‑aware rubrics, and a Model‑Derived Hard‑Negative Mining strategy to generate multiple‑choice distractors for efficient evaluation.
arXiv:2606. 13020v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Three paradigmatic forms of inference recur across scientific reasoning: deduction, induction, and causal abduction.
BioEVAL is a global, multi‑institutional benchmark that evaluates large language and multimodal models on experimental reasoning tasks in bioengineering. It comprises 608 items across 11 bioengineering subfields, including 359 vetted multiple‑choice questions, 218 literature synthesis tasks, and 10 multimodal image‑interpretation problems. The benchmark was used to assess models such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok, revealing accuracies up to 90% on MCQs, a 0.72 similarity score on literature synthesis, and 80% accuracy on multimodal tasks, with notable variation across subfields.
arXiv:2608. 14075v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientific figures and tables encode essential experimental evidence, yet remain difficult for digital libraries and multimodal AI systems to retrieve and interpret.
