Researchers introduced GT Bench, a benchmark with over 100,000 examples across four graph representations, to evaluate LLM performance on algorithmic graph problems. The Graph Theory Agent (GTA) system, combining a representation selector and a plan-and-decompose agent, achieved improved results on the GT Bench benchmark.

Research assessed LLM hypothesis generation in biomedical contexts by integrating KEGG, Rhea, and UniProt into a knowledge graph. The study found that models utilizing full biological paths generated more consistent hypotheses, demonstrating evidence-disciplined reasoning, while models using only source and endpoint produced higher-scoring but less grounded ideas.
