| Challenge: | Large language models (LLMs) have improved the legal domain, but deployment of standalone models faces significant limitations regarding hallucination, outdated information, and verifiability. |
| Approach: | They present a survey of LLM agents for legal tasks and analyze their architectures . they analyze the transition from standard legal LLMs to legal agents . |
| Outcome: | The proposed architectures bridge the gap between technical capabilities and domain-specific needs. |

| Challenge: | Language model-based agents can be used to conduct and support data-driven science, but evaluating them on open-ended tasks is challenging due to multiple valid approaches, partially correct steps, and different ways to express the same decisions. |
| Approach: | They propose a benchmark to automatically evaluate agents’ multifaceted approaches to open-ended research questions. |
| Outcome: | BLADE evaluates agents’ multifaceted approaches to open-ended research questions using data from 12 datasets and research questions drawn from existing scientific literature. |
