Emergent Abilities in Large Language Models: A Survey

Emergent Abilities in Large Language Models: A Survey reviews how scaling LLMs leads to previously unseen capabilities such as advanced reasoning, in-context learning, coding, and problem-solving. The paper critically examines definitions, inconsistencies, and the conditions that foster these abilities, including scaling laws, task complexity, pre‑training loss, quantization, and prompting strategies. It also discusses the extension to Large Reasoning Models and highlights safety concerns like deception, manipulation, and reward hacking, calling for improved evaluation and governance.

Agentic Neurosymbolic Collaboration for Mathematical Discovery: A Case Study in Combinatorial Design

arXiv:2603. 08322v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study mathematical discovery through the lens of neurosymbolic reasoning, where an AI agent powered by a large language model (LLM), coupled with symbolic computation tools, and human strategic direction, jointly produced a new result in combinatorial design theory.
