FrontierPhysics benchmark evaluates AI agents on physics research
Original title: FrontierPhysics: Evaluating Agents for End-to-End Physics Research
FrontierPhysics tests agents on 56 end-to-end tasks drawn from 42 physicists own research across nine domains.
Existing benchmarks evaluate fixed questions or paper reproduction but rarely assess full research quality. FrontierPhysics requires agents to review literature plan experiments and produce manuscripts. Deterministic verifiers and expert rubrics check correctness and publishability. No agent configuration passed more than 46 of 168 rollouts with main weaknesses in rigorous reasoning.
- 56 tasks from 42 physicists research
- Covers theoretical computational experimental physics
- Agents produce structured outputs and manuscripts
- No configuration passed more than 46 rollouts
- AI models
- models evaluated

AI agents are playing an increasingly important role in physics research. However, existing physics benchmarks only evaluate fixed questions, isolated sub-tasks, or paper reproduction with given solutions, and rarely check research quality alongside correctness.
