Humanize Olympiad Agents: A Multi-Session Workflow for Olympiad Problem Solving with Solve, Review, Wiki, Verify

The paper introduces HOA (Humanize Olympiad Agent), a workflow that orchestrates multiple LLM agent sessions via reviewer feedback, a structured wiki, and a verifier to tackle olympiad problems. Using GPT‑5.6 Sol, HOA achieves perfect scores on the IMO, IPhO, and IOI 2026, near‑full marks on the IChO 2026, and solves all 672 PutnamBench problems, while ranking first on the Lean‑Eval leaderboard. With open models like Kimi‑K3, HOA still attains full scores on major olympiads and a gold‑level IChO score, showing that systematic feedback can close gaps between closed‑source and open‑source agents.

h1: A Taste of the Bitter Lesson in Automated Theorem Proving

The paper introduces h1, a simple agentic loop that interfaces a language model with Lean 4, avoiding complex human-designed workflows. h1 achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on benchmarks such as PutnamBench, FATE‑X, and FormalConjectures100‑Solved, solving eight open problems and matching or surpassing specialized systems like Goedel‑Architect and AlphaProof Nexus. Experiments show that an efficient Lean interface is crucial for cost and success, suggesting that future evaluations should prioritize execution feedback over elaborate workflows.

AgentHop: A Diagnostic Benchmark for Agentic Multi-Hop Question Answering over Scientific Citation Graphs

AgentHop is a diagnostic benchmark comprising 1,011 multiple‑choice questions that test agentic multi‑hop question answering over scientific citation graphs. It provides a controlled seven‑tool sandbox with fixed token, turn, and tool‑call limits, allowing researchers to dissect model performance across four operational axes: retrieval, synthesis, tool‑call, and resource management. Analysis of 19 models shows distinct family‑specific behaviors, such as GPT models committing early, Anthropic and GLM checkpoints verifying before committing, DeepSeek and Kimi over‑searching, and Gemini‑3 Pro maintaining balance, while within‑family differences are revealed in retrieval versus synthesis strategies.

FrontierOR: Benchmarking LLMs' Capacity for Efficient Algorithm Design in Large-Scale Optimization

arXiv:2605. 25246v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for optimization modeling and solver-code generation, yet practical operations research and optimization problems often require a harder capability: designing scalable algorithms that exploit problem structure and outperform direct formulation-and-solve baselines.
