Mr.LHDR is a new benchmark designed to evaluate deep research agents on long‑horizon, multimodal tasks. It presents questions built from hidden Node‑Relation graphs that require an average of 12.1 intermediate conclusions and a mean dependency depth of 10.4 before arriving at a single verifiable answer. The benchmark tests both final answers and the correctness of intermediate conclusions, using metrics such as Overall Accuracy, Strict Accuracy, Checklist Score, and Dependency‑Aware Checklist Score.

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:2608. 09281v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) perform strongly on engineering imagery, yet existing benchmarks mostly test drawing recognition, information extraction, or compliance checking, leaving open whether models can combine distributed visual evidence with engineering principles to reach a conclusion.
