What is BixBench?

BixBench is a benchmark for real-world bioinformatics and data analysis tasks.

Tier A

A

Widely used: a lab reports it, or 50 or more models are scored on it.

How much stands behind a tier: usage, who backs it, a confirmed line from its own site or paper, and a clear read on X. High with three of the four, medium with two, low otherwise.

  • 2 models scored
  • reported by OpenAI
  • in curated RL directories (1 pt)

On X · mixed, low buzz, from 1 post about BixBench in the last month

One small account notes the raw BixBench has ambiguous questions and wrong answer keys, and points to a verified 50-question subset as more reliable.

How we got to tier A
  1. Adoption: 2 models scored; reported by OpenAI. Tier A.
  2. On X: mixed, low buzz. “One small account notes the raw BixBench has ambiguous questions and wrong answer keys, and points to a verified 50-question subset as more reliable.” No move.
  3. In curated RL directories: 1 point, a floor of none.
  4. Not yet confirmed by a line from its own site or paper.

A clear view on X moves a tier one step up or down; most entries don't move. How tiers work.

Not on the map yet: no line from its own site or paper places it in a domain.
