Evaluating AI’s ability to perform scientific research tasks

OpenAI Blog 7 months ago

OpenAI created FrontierScience, a benchmark that measures how well AI systems perform on research tasks in physics, chemistry, and biology. The benchmark includes problems at the level of doctoral dissertations and published papers, designed to test reasoning beyond pattern matching. This tool provides a standardized way to track whether AI is advancing toward being able to conduct genuine scientific research.

Measuring AI’s capability to accelerate biological research

OpenAI Blog 7 months ago

OpenAI developed an evaluation framework to measure how AI systems can speed up biological research conducted in physical laboratories. In testing, GPT-5 optimized a molecular cloning protocol, which is a standard procedure for copying DNA sequences. The framework aims to assess both the potential benefits and risks of using AI to guide experimental work in biology.
