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.

Agentick is a unified benchmark for sequential decision‑making agents that evaluates RL, LLM, VLM, hybrid, and human agents on 37 procedurally generated tasks across six capability categories, four difficulty levels, and five observation modalities via a single Gymnasium‑compatible interface. It includes a Coding API, oracle reference policies, pre‑built SFT datasets, a composable agent harness, and a live leaderboard. An evaluation of 27 configurations and over 90,000 episodes shows no single approach dominates, with GPT‑5 mini leading overall, PPO excelling in planning and multi‑agent tasks, and the reasoning harness boosting LLM performance by 3‑10×, while ASCII observations outperform natural language.

MOOSEnger is a simulation‑aware AI agent framework designed for the MOOSE ecosystem, integrating an interchangeable reasoning model with domain knowledge, revised simulation artifacts, MOOSE‑specific validation, and executable solver feedback. Its generate‑check‑repair‑run workflow uses MOOSE knowledge retrieval, HIT‑aware parsing, syntax metadata, diagnostics, and revision‑controlled authoring to bind evidence to each input revision and guide bounded repair before acceptance. Across 200 prompts, MOOSEnger raises executable success from 5% to 89.5% with GPT‑5.2 and from 0% to 76.5% with Gemma 4 31B, and a ten‑case benchmark shows all generated inputs meet semantic alignment, with eight also meeting numerical‑accuracy criteria.

arXiv:2605. 26179v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Density functional theory (DFT) serves as the basis for computational discovery in materials science and chemistry, yet each calculation demands extensive human effort: adjusting algorithms when convergence stalls, revising plans when unexpected physics emerges, and inserting steps as intermediate results reshape the problem.
