What is LifeSciBench?
LifeSciBench is an expert-authored, expert-reviewed benchmark of 750 open-ended life-science research tasks spanning seven workflows and seven biological domains. Responses are graded against 19,020 physician- and scientist-written rubric criteria rather than multiple-choice answers, and most tasks require interpreting attached artifacts such as figures, PDFs, and sequence files.
LifeSciBench is a text benchmark evaluating models on reasoning, science, healthcare, and agents tasks. LLM Stats tracks 3 models on this benchmark, scored on a 0–1 scale. The current average is 0.6, with the leader at 0.6.
Compare leaders on the best AI for reasoning, best AI for science, best AI for healthcare and best AI for agents leaderboards.
