Evaluation & BenchmarksAndrew Bo Liu et al.

Liu et al. release ABC-Bench

Released ABC-Bench — a benchmark that evaluates agentic LLMs' ability to carry out biology experiments (writing code for liquid-handling robots, designing DNA fragments for in vitro assembly, evading DNA synthesis screening)

Why it matters

The arrival of a new family of benchmarks in which bio-risk evaluation moves from knowledge Q&A to evaluating an agent's ability to run an actual experimental loop
