Summary
According to a post on X by @kenbwork, Kenny Workman and Latch Bio collaborators introduced BioSecBench-RespiratoryVirus-Surveillance, called RespSurvBench. It contains 110 graded decisions across diagnostic assays, pathogen discovery, viral evolution and transmission, and population surveillance. Across 21 models and 34 model-harness setups, the best pass rate was 25.5%, achieved by Claude Opus 5.5 on Pi. The snippet is cut off before the remaining results are shown.

What happened
Kenny Workman and Latch Bio collaborators introduced BioSecBench-RespiratoryVirus-Surveillance (RespSurvBench): 110 graded decisions across diagnostic assays, pathogen discovery, viral evolution/transmission, and population surveillance. Across 21 models and 34 model–harness setups, the best pass rate was 25.5%...
Why it matters
The reported scores suggest that current AI agents still struggle with these respiratory-virus surveillance decisions. Teams building AI tools for public health or biosecurity work may want to review the full benchmark before relying on agents for similar tasks. The complete methodology and results were not visible in the source snippet, so the details should be checked directly.
