1. **[s1: Simple test-time scaling](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/muennighoff-2025-s1-simple-test-time-scaling/)** *(2025 · 608 citations)* The paper looks for the most minimal recipe that gives a language model both strong reasoning and clear test-time scaling, meaning accuracy rises as the model is allowed to think longer.
2. **[Can Unconfident LLM Annotations Be Used for Confident Conclusions?](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/gligoric-2025-can-unconfident-llm-annotations-be/)** *(2025 · 19 citations)* Computational social scientists increasingly add LLM annotations to costly human labels. However, LLM errors and biases can quietly distort downstream statistics such as prevalences or regression coefficients. The authors propose CONFIDENCE-DRIVEN INFERENCE, which asks an LLM for both a label and a verbalized…
3. **[Towards Execution-Grounded Automated AI Research](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/si-2026-towards-execution-grounded-automated-ai/)** *(2026 · 7 citations)* LLMs can propose research ideas that sound convincing but fail when tested. This paper asks two questions: can idea testing be automated at scale, and can models improve from the measured results? The authors built an automated executor. An Implementer turns natural-language ideas into code diffs, a Scheduler assigns…
