benchmark-biomlbench: limitations
Limitations of BioML-bench
Task configs set time_limit 28800 s (8 hours) for 18 of the 20 in-scope tasks, and the runner uses it in place of the agent's own TIME_LIMIT_SECS. Q8EG35_SHEON_Campbell_2022_indels and CSN4_MOUSE_Tsuboyama_2023_1UFM_indels set no time_limit, so the agent default applies: 43200 s for AIDE, Biomni and MLAgentBench and 57600 s for STELLA. Imaging tasks set 57600 s.

Evidence
Source checking verifies the cited claim or transcription. It does not establish independent reproduction.
Evidence table
Inspect claims, sources and review details
Trace each statement to its source and review. A context-only reference supports the record generally; it does not verify an individual field. Source checking does not reproduce an experiment.
One row per statement and cited source. Multiple citations are not independent evaluations. Shared locators are labelled explicitly.

- review
- method: source-hash-verification; independent-cell-check; method note: Read the time_limit of each in-scope task config and the override code in the repository archive at commit 673f3d8 (archive SHA-256 matches the source record).; reviewer: claude; reviewer note: Claude (Opus 5.5) research agent, independent of the extractor; no human review claimed; date: 2026-10-13; artifact sha256: c23978275652d61452e710dfdf94613237b85ab9b90605af457d082c351ae559; retrieval url: https://codeload.github.com/science-machine/biomlbench/tar.gz/673f3d8d3462fc6cdcbbd9695fba612b9332ca65; note: Added by the independent review 2026-10-13: the extractor's notes read the agent defaults as the run limits; the per-task limit overrides them for 18 of 20 in-scope tasks.
