Sci‑MMR is a new benchmark for multi‑step evidence‑grounded scientific reasoning in multimodal agents, featuring 235 multi‑hop tasks across four disciplines and an average of nine figure panels per task. It evaluates not just final answer accuracy but also the recovery of structured evidence from scientific claims, citations, visual data, and supporting regions. Experiments on eight state‑of‑the‑art models show a gap of over 20 points between answer accuracy and complete evidence recovery, highlighting significant challenges in evidence acquisition and integration.

MatToolBench is a new benchmark that evaluates multimodal GUI agents on professional materials science software. It contains 204 tasks across 10 tools in three modalities—GUI operation, OriginPro scripting, and code-based database queries—executed inside a Windows 11 VM. The benchmark offers fine-grained, expert-decomposed scoring and a high-performing multimodal judge for aesthetic assessment, revealing that strong general benchmark performance does not transfer to scientific workflows.
arXiv:2607. 15079v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Understanding the brain increasingly depends on integrating evidence across scales, modalities, and disciplines.
Autonomous scientific research agents are increasingly applied to end-to-end scientific workflows, including literature review, data analysis, experimentation, and report generation. However, open-end...
arXiv:2605. 29861v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have advanced autonomous agents from deep search, which retrieves concise factual answers, to deep research, which synthesizes scattered evidence into long-form reports.
