LLMZero uses LLM agents to search training trajectories and discovers that capacity parameters accumulate monotonically while regularization parameters oscillate, leading to performance improvements of 9-140% on GRPO tasks.
ChemCoTBench-V2 is a new rule-verifiable benchmark with 5,620 samples across 18 tasks that evaluates LLM chemical reasoning traces using deterministic chemistry rules and reference traces rather than final answers alone.
FORGE reformulates molecular optimization as context-aware fragment ranking and replacement using mined low-to-high edit pairs, outperforming larger language models and graph methods on standard benchmarks.
LLM agents reach only 50.6% accuracy on chemical cost estimation within 25% error even with tools, dropping with noise due to parsing, pack selection, and tool-use failures.
ToxReason is an AOP-grounded benchmark that evaluates LLMs on mechanistic organ-level toxicity reasoning from molecular initiating events to adverse outcomes, showing that high predictive accuracy does not guarantee faithful biological explanations.
MolDeTox is a new benchmark that shows fragment-level stepwise editing by LLMs and VLMs improves structural validity and detoxification quality over prior toxicity-focused evaluations.
Molecular LLMs suffer large performance drops from single graph edits; in-context tuning on similar molecules partially widens their reliable region.
Bolek injects Morgan fingerprint embeddings into an instruction-tuned text model, then fine-tunes on molecular alignment and synthetic chain-of-thought tasks to improve performance and grounding on 15 TDC binary classification endpoints while generalizing to unseen tasks.
MolClaw deploys a hierarchical skill architecture to reach state-of-the-art results on a new benchmark of multi-step drug discovery tasks.
A survey compiling RL methods, challenges, data resources, and applications for enhancing reasoning in large language models and large reasoning models since DeepSeek-R1.
