New benchmark tests AI agents on 70 scientific research workflows

By PulseAugur Editorial · [4 sources] ·

A new benchmark, Terminal-Bench-Science, has been released to evaluate AI agents on complex scientific research tasks. Developed by researchers at Stanford University and a global team of domain experts, it features 70 tasks across various scientific disciplines. The strongest model evaluated, Claude Opus-5, achieved a 30% resolution rate on the initial release, highlighting the significant gap between current AI capabilities and the demands of real-world scientific workflows.
