multimodal benchmark
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.
