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:2504. 07385v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As Large Language Models (LLMs) become increasingly used for question-answering (QA), relying on static, pre-annotated references for evaluation poses significant challenges in cost, scalability, and completeness.

SciDocBench is a workflow-centered benchmark for scientific document understanding that includes 124 expert-authored questions across seven capability groups and 19 subtasks in five scientific domains. Each question is evaluated under four conditions—English or Chinese, all-images-first or interleaved document representations—resulting in 496 evaluation instances. The benchmark is paired with SciDocIR, a typed evidence-graph representation, and SciDocDataset, a collection of 15K fine-tuning and 8K reinforcement-learning samples, forming an evaluation-to-training framework for scientific-document assistants.
