arXiv:2608. 20204v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Legal work, with its heavy reliance on processing large amounts of text, is often considered one of the domains most exposed to the use of LLMs.

ContractScrub is a new benchmark that evaluates large language models on the task of contract scrubbing—reviewing legal agreements for errors and inconsistencies. The benchmark includes contracts crafted by experienced lawyers covering diverse error types such as misuse of defined terms, incorrect references, and inconsistent language. Initial tests show that even leading models perform poorly, with only one achieving a 0.75 macro‑average recall, highlighting the gap between general LLM performance and real‑world legal tasks.
arXiv:2606. 07904v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tool-augmented large language model agents increasingly rely on external APIs, but standard tool schemas describe how to call a tool, not when the tool is causally appropriate or what task state it produces.

The paper surveys recent advances in Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), a technique that integrates external retrieval into language model generation to reduce hallucinations and keep knowledge current. It introduces a four‑axis taxonomy—efficiency, defense, interactivity, and reasoning—to organize contemporary RAG research, covering retrieval methods, fusion strategies, embedding optimizations, and reinforcement learning policies. The survey also reviews evaluation practices, domain‑specific applications, and architectural variants, while highlighting ongoing challenges such as retrieval quality, reliability, domain adaptation, scalability, and explainability.
