Generative-AI evaluations can become historical before publication, yet calendar age does not affect every conclusion equally. This paper has two linked purposes.

The study examined biomedical research articles from 2022 to March 2026 that employed large language models (LLMs). It found that 42% of the most frequently used models were already retired or scheduled to retire within two years of publication, with a median retirement interval of 538 days. This high rate of model deprecation threatens the reproducibility of biomedical AI research.

The paper introduces a six‑stage audit framework for assessing reproducibility in computer science literature and applies it to the neuro‑symbolic AI (NSAI) subfield. Using the framework, the authors screened 5,497 records, identified 1,304 eligible studies, and found verifiable code artifacts for only 455 of them. Of those, they fully or partially reproduced 85 studies, representing 6.52% of the eligible corpus and 18.68% of attempted reruns, highlighting a significant reproducibility gap even when code is declared available.
