OpenAI and biotech Ligo launch BioBasicsBench, 100 real wet-lab tasks for AI agents
VraserX · x · 2026-11-07
OpenAI partnered with Ligo, a biotech company focused on enzyme design, to release BioBasicsBench, a benchmark measuring how AI agents handle routine wet-lab science analyses. It draws on 100 tasks from real experiments to test whether agents can interpret raw lab data, identify errors, and recognize when evidence doesn't support a conclusion. The reply itself asks OpenAI about the whereabouts of GPT-6.2 Astra.
