Introducing GeneBench-Pro

OpenAI, Tuesday, June 30th, 2026

OpenAI unveils GeneBench-Pro, a research-level benchmark for evaluating AI agents on computational biology tasks.

OpenAI introduced GeneBench-Pro, a challenging, research-level benchmark designed to test whether AI agents can handle the judgment-heavy analysis that real-world computational biology requires.

It expands the earlier GeneBench with harder, more realistic synthetic tasks and evaluates models on scientific reasoning under uncertainty. OpenAI reports strong model results on these complex analysis tasks.

The benchmark aims to measure how well AI systems can perform the kind of expert scientific reasoning needed for genuine biological research.
