OpenAI releases BioBasicsBench to test AI agents in wet-lab science
Benchmark developed with biotech firm Ligo draws on 100 tasks from real experiments
OpenAI has released BioBasicsBench, a new benchmark for measuring how AI agents handle routine analyses in wet-lab science, the company announced in a post on X on Friday. Developed with biotech company Ligo, the benchmark uses 100 tasks drawn from real experiments to test whether AI agents can interpret raw lab data, identify errors, and recognise when evidence does not support a conclusion.
