The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

SciResearcher-8B achieves 19.46% on the HLE-Bio/Chem-Gold benchmark, establishing a new state of the art at its parameter scale and surpassing several larger proprietary agents. It further achieves 13-15% absolute gains on SuperGPQA-Hard-Biology and TRQA-Literature benchmarks.

C2weakest assumption

That tasks synthesized by the agentic framework accurately reflect the computational and reasoning demands of actual frontier scientific problems rather than simplified or proxy versions.

C3one line summary

SciResearcher automates creation of diverse scientific reasoning tasks from academic evidence to train an 8B model that sets new SOTA at 19.46% on HLE-Bio/Chem-Gold and gains 13-15% on SuperGPQA-Hard-Biology and TRQA-Literature.
