Curie

A ground-breaking benchmark by Google, Harvard, Cornell University, NIST, and other institutions.

The article discusses the Curie benchmarking framework, which aims to assess how well large language models (LLMs) can aid scientists in complex domains requiring deep knowledge and extensive contextual understanding. Unlike existing benchmarks, Curie addresses long-context tasks that involve actual research papers and details domain-specific knowledge required to synthesize information and solve scientific problems effectively. It lists various disciplines involved in the evaluation, outlining strengths and limitations, notably its narrow focus on only six domains compared to broader benchmarks.
