GIANTS-4B, trained with RL on a new 17k-example benchmark of parent-to-child paper insights, achieves 34% relative improvement over gemini-3-pro in LM-judge similarity and is rated higher-impact by a citation predictor.
MLS-Bench is a benchmark with 140 tasks that evaluates AI agents on inventing generalizable and scalable ML methods, finding they lag human performance especially in insight-driven invention rather than tuning.
VESTA introduces dynamic tool creation for VLMs that outperforms static-tool and no-tool baselines on distribution fitting, time series, and astronomy tasks in the new DAWN benchmark.
Analogical reasoning increases LLM solution diversity by 90-173% and novelty rate to over 50%, delivering up to 13-fold gains on biomedical tasks including perturbation prediction and cell communication.
HypoExplore uses LLMs for hypothesis-driven evolutionary search with a Trajectory Tree and Hypothesis Memory Bank to discover lightweight vision architectures, reaching 94.11% accuracy on CIFAR-10 from an 18.91% baseline and generalizing to other datasets including state-of-the-art on MedMNIST.
The paper delivers a stage-by-stage roadmap for AI in research, showing reliable assistance in retrieval and tool tasks but fragility in novelty and judgment, advocating human-governed collaboration.
