Hangzhou-based AI-for-science company Deep Principle released Hydrogen-1.0 on November 2, its first general-purpose scientific model. It post-trains Zhipu's GLM-5.3 with SFT and RL on chemistry, materials and life-science data plus its own lab records and discovery trajectories, and ships about 753B parameters of BF16 weights on Hugging Face under the MIT license. By the vendor's own evaluation it scores 38.3% on FrontierScience-Research versus 33.3% for GPT-6 Astra; none of the results have been independently reproduced yet.

On Nov 2, semiconductor and AI research firm SemiAnalysis released GDPx, a benchmark of agentic capability across 11 domains: chip design, cybersecurity, biology, finance, legal, quant trading, recursive self-improvement (RSI), hardware design, materials science, alignment and software engineering. Its 206 tasks were built by 14 specialist data partners, with SemiAnalysis doing final QA. On the official leaderboard Claude Opus 5.5 leads at 12.0%, followed by Gemini 4 Carbon at 10.9% and GPT-6 Astra at 9.6%; nearly every model scores 0 on finance and legal. SemiAnalysis says safety classifiers drag down Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Astra, and plans a new version every 3–6 months. All scores are as reported by SemiAnalysis.

Terminal coding agents are expanding from standard software engineering into scientific domains like bioinformatics, materials science, and physics. However, building training sandboxes requires executable reference behavior and rigorous verifiers capable of distinguishing true semantic correctness from superficial syntactic mimicry—a process that currently requires tedious manual engineering per task. Researchers from Tsinghua University and Tencent introduce Software-in-the-Loop Reconstruction (SWR, arXiv:2610.02710), a self-supervised environment scaling framework. SWR extracts ground-truth outputs and verifiers from existing executable scientific software workflows by perturbing input configurations into public observations and hidden evaluations. Agents synthesize complete, editable programs from input-output schemas without viewing source code, evaluated by hierarchical verifiers testing semantic fidelity, structural integrity, and anti-shortcut compliance. Implemented across 500 workflows and 46 software suites spanning six scientific domains, SWR generates 1,422 verified trajectories. Supervised fine-tuning of Qwen3.8-27B elevates Terminal-Bench 2 average success from 47.94% to 53.56%, establishing a scalable paradigm for scientific terminal agent training.
