Why it matters

Provides a standardized environment and public leaderboard to measure whether coding agents can achieve discovery-level performance on real scientific problems, addressing environment-fragmentation issues in prior benchmarks.

Motivation

We introduce NatureBench, a cross-discipline benchmark of 90 tasks distilled from peer-reviewed Nature-family publications, designed to evaluate whether AI coding agents can move beyond reproduction toward discovery on real scientific problems.
