Towards Native Structural Reasoning withSciReasoner

Structure determines property.

“It is structure that we look for whenever we try to understand anything.”

The answer is only the last step. The reasoning is inspectable.

SciReasoner exposes the reasoning path behind each answer: it decodes the scientific object, highlights the relevant structure, tests the mechanism and then commits to the output.

Appendix Evidence Case

The appendix case asks for shear_modulus_gv on Ag2HgI4. The SLICES-PLUS atom list has seven sites: two Ag, one Hg and four I, matching the chemical formula.

The paper fact sheet maps indices 0 and 1 to Ag, 2 to Hg, and 3-6 to I. The cited edges show Ag and Hg each coordinated by iodine, producing a tetrahedral metal-iodide environment.

The model output {shear_modulus_gv: 5.62} sits in the soft-modulus regime and is close to the paper's 5.77 GPa ground truth.

Concrete benchmark gains across scientific domains.

The main score counts tasks where SciReasoner beats the best frontier LLM and, when a specialist result is available, matches or surpasses that specialist.
