  "summary": "Designing a scientific instrument tests whether language-model agents can do physics rather than recall it, provided the grading cannot be argued with. We introduce NeutronGym, to our knowledge the first executable environment for neutron instrument design: agents build instruments through validating tools, McStas ray-traces what they build, and a level-resolved ladder grades syntax, runtime,…",
