arXiv:2607. 14178v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in Large Language Models have fueled autonomous AI agents capable of tackling complex scientific tasks, yet existing automated research systems remain predominantly focused on empirically driven domains with quantitative benchmarks, leaving theory-driven discovery, particularly in mathematically grounded disciplines requiring rigorous proofs and synthesis of domain knowledge, largely underexplored.
BioPhys-Bridge is a newly released benchmark dataset designed to evaluate language models on evidence‑grounded scientific reasoning within biophysical literature. Each of its 500 cases includes evidence blocks, stable IDs, quantitative values, units, equations, assumptions, mechanisms, and next‑step decisions, covering six biological domains and nine physical model families. The dataset enforces strict quality gates and has already been evaluated against several models, with DeepSeek‑V4‑Flash achieving the highest evidence‑ID F1 score of 0.360.

arXiv:2601. 19827v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) extends large language models (LLMs) beyond parametric knowledge, yet it is unclear when iterative retrieval-reasoning loops meaningfully outperform static RAG, particularly in scientific domains with multi-hop reasoning, sparse domain knowledge, and heterogeneous evidence.
arXiv:2608. 15303v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Test-time compute can substantially improve Large Language Model (LLM) reasoning performance, yet how and when additional compute helps remains poorly understood.
arXiv:2510. 15416v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We investigate a framework in which LoRA adapters are treated as callable tools that a base language model can dynamically select and invoke.
