BixBench3: A benchmark for AI agents to reproduce biology paper analyses
ZhongingAlong · x · 2026-08-27
Edison Sciences released BixBench3, a long-horizon biology benchmark designed to evaluate an LLM's ability to produce the analyses underpinning entire biology papers from raw data.
- Scope: It features 20 paper-derived tasks with datasets up to 241 GB, making it the longest-horizon biology benchmark in terms of tokens, time, and task scope.
- Workflow: Tasks simulate the use of AI agents in research—setting objectives, planning methodology, and delegating implementation.
- Results: Evaluating 13 frontier models, the best model reproduced an average of 48% of requested artifacts, suggesting agents are approaching research study-scale capabilities.
