The Autonomous Science Bench offers six budgeted design-build-test-learn campaigns based on real experiments in biology and chemistry to evaluate AI agents for autonomous scientific discovery. Unlike existing benchmarks, it supports active experimentation beyond fixed datasets or simulations.

AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

AI agents for autonomous scientific discovery must decide which experiments to run under a limited budget. Most benchmarks for science agents provide fixed datasets, while others that support active experimentation largely rely on simulation. We introduce Autonomous Science Bench, an initial release comprising six...

This benchmark enables more realistic assessment of AI agents' decision-making under experimental budget constraints, advancing their application in real-world scientific research. It bridges the gap between simulated environments and practical scientific discovery tasks.
