What it measures

Generalist biomedical agent evaluation suite across genetics, pharmacology, pathology, and clinical microbiology.

Reading the measurement

Ask whether the evaluation rewards recalling a fact, constructing a model, running an experiment or supporting a discovery. Those tasks require different evidence. For research claims, inspect reproducibility, uncertainty and what was actually checked.

Published evaluation

Exact labeled means across ten biomedical tasks. This is an equal-weight mean of task rewards, not necessarily micro-accuracy across all 433 instances. All six systems use the Biomni-A1 agent scaffold and E1 environment; base and RL-trained Qwen variants are distinct models.

Where this fits in an evaluation suite

A correct multiple-choice answer and a supported scientific contribution demand different evidence. Check whether the score rewards a proposal, an executed experiment, or a completed research target.

Start with a capability hypothesis, then choose a second test with a different failure mode. Keep the checkpoint, reasoning effort, agent tools, sampling policy, and scoring procedure fixed when measuring a training intervention. Record failures and missing outputs in the denominator.

A reproducible comparison

Exact labeled means across ten biomedical tasks. This is an equal-weight mean of task rewards, not necessarily micro-accuracy across all 433 instances. All six systems use the Biomni-A1 agent scaffold and E1 environment; base and RL-trained Qwen variants are distinct models.

Publish the exact run configuration, item coverage, score units, and available uncertainty. If a source supplies only an aggregate or a single run, preserve that limit. A new model name or a rounded score alone does not establish a capability improvement.
