Shanghai is the first city I visited that is outside Guangdong province. Before the trip, I have already had some senses of how Shanghai will be: the Bund (外灘), people speak Shanghaihua (上海話), clean and civilized city.

NewtonBench: Benchmarking Generalizable Scientific Law Discovery in LLM Agents

Published in ICLR 2026, 2026

We introduce NewtonBench, a benchmark of 324 scientific law discovery tasks across 12 physics domains. Counterfactual law shifts yield scalable, scientifically relevant, memorization-resistant problems, while interactive model discovery requires agents to experiment on simulated systems rather than fit static tables.

SciResearcher: Scaling Deep Research Agents for Frontier Scientific Reasoning

Published in arXiv preprint, 2026

SciResearcher is a fully automated framework for constructing frontier-science training data from heterogeneous academic sources. SciResearcher-8B sets a new state of the art at the 8B scale on HLE-Bio/Chem-Gold and improves substantially on SuperGPQA-Hard-Biology and TRQA-Literature.
