BioSimBench: 12 frontier models tested on predicting real cell responses, best only partially right

david_van_dijk · x · 2026-11-06

The CellType team introduces BioSimBench, testing whether frontier LLMs can simulate real biology: predicting how cells respond to drugs, gene knockdowns, and immune signals. Findings: even the best models get only part of the response right, leaving lots of room to improve. The full leaderboard covers twelve frontier models with every task public, built on NVIDIA infrastructure.
