LifeSciBench, developed by OpenAI, includes 750 tasks designed by 173 PhD scientists across seven workflows and seven biology domains, with 19,020 scoring metrics. It emphasizes reasoning and decision-making over memory. The best model, GPT-Rosalind, achieves a 36.1% pass rate, highlighting significant room for improvement in literature processing, precise output, and operation invocation. This provides a standard for developing and evaluating AI models in life sciences.
