BioBasicsBench
Agents interpret raw experimental data in 100 wet-lab tasks, identify errors, and recognize when evidence cannot support a conclusion. Expert-written rubrics award partial credit for measurements, reasoning, and uncertainty. Scores report the mean percentage of available credit.
OpenAI reports only its own models and releases no task set or grading code. News reports do not identify whether humans or models grade responses. Ligo publishes no benchmark post on its research index.
