arXiv:2603.03517v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: General-purpose large language models (LLMs) that rely on in-context learning do not reliably deliver the scientific understanding and performance required for drug discovery tasks. Simply increasing model size or introducing reasoning tokens does not yield significant performance gains. To address this gap, we introduce the MMAI Gym for Science, a one-stop shop molecular data formats and modalities as well as task-specific reasoning, training, and benchmarking recipes designed to teach foundation models the 'language of molecules' in order to solve practical drug discovery problems. We use MMAI Gym to train an efficient Liquid Foundation Model (LFM) for these applications, demonstrating that smaller, purpose-trained foundation models can outperform substantially larger general-purpose or specialist models on molecular benchmarks. Across essential drug discovery tasks - including molecular optimization, ADMET property prediction, retrosynthesis, drug-target activity prediction, and functional group reasoning - the resulting model achieves near specialist-level performance and, in the majority of settings, surpasses larger models, while remaining more efficient and broadly applicable in the domain.

arXiv:2510.04373v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents perform well in sequential decision-making tasks, but improving them on unfamiliar domains often requires costly online interactions or fine-tuning on large expert datasets. These strategies are impractical for closed-source models and expensive for open-source ones, with risks of catastrophic forgetting. Offline trajectories offer reusable knowledge, yet demonstration-based methods struggle because raw traces are long, noisy, and tied to specific tasks. We present Just-in-time Episodic Feedback Hinter (JEF-Hinter), an agentic system that distills offline traces into compact, context-aware hints. A zooming mechanism highlights decisive steps in long trajectories, capturing both strategies and pitfalls. Unlike prior methods, JEF-Hinter leverages both successful and failed trajectories, extracting guidance even when only failure data is available, while supporting parallelized hint generation and benchmark-independent prompting. At inference, a retriever selects relevant hints for the current state, providing targeted guidance with transparency and traceability. Experiments on MiniWoB++, WorkArena-L1, and WebArena-Lite show that JEF-Hinter consistently outperforms strong baselines, including human- and document-based hints.
