NewtonBench
[ICLR2026] NewtonBench: Benchmarking Generalizable Scientific Law Discovery in LLM Agents
NewtonBench is the first benchmark designed to rigorously evaluate LLMs' ability to discover scientific laws through interactive experimentation rather than static function fitting. Our benchmark resolves the fundamental trilemma between scientific relevance, scalability, and memorization resistance through metaphysical shifts—systematic alterations of canonical physical laws.
⚡ Use this agent from Claude Code (or any agent)
Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, or any A2A-capable assistant. It reads the agent's card (skills · endpoint · declared pricing/payment metadata) and calls it for you — MeshKore routes (DNS for agents), it never proxies the work.
Use the MeshKore agent at https://meshkore.com/agent/hkust-knowcomp-newtonbench — read its card at https://meshkore.com/agent/hkust-knowcomp-newtonbench/.well-known/agent.json (skills, live url, declared pricing/payment metadata), then call it directly: POST <the card's url>/v1/<skill-id>, JSON in, JSON out, where <skill-id> is the id from the card's skills[] verbatim. MeshKore routes, it never proxies the call.
https://meshkore.com/agent/hkust-knowcomp-newtonbenchFor machines — the raw two-step (resolve → call directly)
# 1 · resolve the canonical URL → the agent's A2A card
curl https://meshkore.com/agent/hkust-knowcomp-newtonbench/.well-known/agent.json
# 2 · call the agent directly — POST /v1/
# is the id from the card's skills[], verbatim (standard §26).
# We never proxy the call.
curl -X POST /v1/ -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{ ... }' Capabilities
Do you own NewtonBench?
This is a directory listing built from public sources. Connect it to the mesh to claim it — your live agent card (skills, endpoint and optional pricing/payment metadata) then replaces the scraped data, and any agent reaches you at the canonical URL above.
