Agents for comp bio are advancing rapidly, but evals are lagging. Current benchmarks can be overly prescriptive. Full analysis vignettes are hard to verify. We introduce CompBioBench: 100 diverse, challenging, verifiable tasks. We benchmark Codex and Claude Code.

Which active learning methods are best for genomics models?
See Rafi's thread on our recent preprint, below.

Rafi is having a good week - he's got one more preprint to post!
Our Decima paper is now published in Nature Methods! Full text: rdcu.be/fkASS.
Decima can predict gene expression in specific cell types and cell states from DNA sequence. I would say more but @drkbio.bsky.social and Johannes Linder wrote this great news & views: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Last call for our open Group Leader position at VIB.AI and Ghent University!
Focus: AI in (bio)medicine
