Show HN: FrontierBioML – Can coding agents do ML for computational biology?

Valen Labs released FrontierBioML, a benchmark that evaluates coding agents on machine learning tasks in computational biology, and published its findings on the company blog. The release includes a leaderboard ranking agents by mean of per-task mean scores with run counts and 95% intervals, alongside average cost per agent, score-over-time charts, and per-task score breakdowns. The benchmark is intended to measure whether coding agents can carry out ML work in computational biology rather than only general software tasks.
