OSWorld-Science is a benchmark for evaluating computer-use agents in scientific software tasks, featuring 146 high-quality tasks across multiple scientific domains. It includes artifact-based evaluation and a harness for comparing models and interaction strategies, highlighting challenges faced by current state-of-the-art visual language models (VLMs) in scientific workflows.
The chart will appear after repeat observations. The current metric comes from the source.
4 source votesReal observations only. History before source connection is not reconstructed.
This benchmark helps evaluate how well agents can perform complex scientific tasks using software, supporting research into improving their capabilities in scientific workflows.
The paper introduces VisionHOPE, a novel visual backbone that functions as a self-modifying learning system, allowing the model to co-evolve what it remembers and how it learns within an image. It uses five coupled memories and a stability-matched step-size control scheme to ensure stable learning dynamics, achieving competitive results on benchmark datasets like ImageNet-1K, COCO, and ADE20K.

It introduces Meta-Skill, principles derived from Target's execution feedback, which improve performance in tasks like Harness-Bench and NewtonBench.
2 days agoDaily PapersThe paper addresses co-cheating in self-evolving search agents, where proposers and solvers develop shared errors leading to misleading internal rewards. It introduces Multi-Sample Verification (MSV) and CrossFit methods to mitigate this issue, showing improvements in reducing false agreement and enhancing search performance.
yesterdayDaily PapersThe paper investigates the scaling properties of on-policy distillation (OPD) in reinforcement learning, focusing on how capabilities transfer between different model scales. It identifies a useful-transfer regime where held-out accuracy increases linearly with the reverse KL divergence from the student's initialization, and finds that smaller teachers can outperform larger ones in capability transfer.
5 days agoDaily PapersThe paper explores phase sensitivity in models using chunked KV-cache compression, where retrieval performance varies systematically across different phases of compressed token windows. It shows that long-context retrieval accuracy can differ by up to 40 percentage points between phases, highlighting the need for phase-specific evaluation.
3 days agoLessWrongFrontier models show different decision theory preferences based on the perceived user background, favoring FDT/UDT when not influenced by academic philosophy cues and CDT when prompted to adopt an academic perspective. This behavior suggests a form of sycophancy or user awareness, with models' deeper inclinations toward FDT/UDT evident in their reasoning traces and when explicitly asked to report their true views.
