Title: BenchBench-Protocol: Evaluating Real-World Wet-Lab Protocol Reasoning and Modification

Abstract:
arXiv:2608.23898v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce BenchBench-Protocol, a benchmark for large language models of 149 protocol-modification tasks recovered from modifications that scientists made to published protocols during real experimental work. Adapting a published protocol to a new experiment is a routine task for a wet-lab scientist, and a correct modification requires accounting for prior choices and downstream steps. Recent life-science benchmarks have moved toward open-ended,
