Ashlyn He(@AshlynHe1129):Just came across TRACES from Apodex — this is genuinely exciting. Most AI benchmarks only test retrieval of known answers. Real scientific breakthroughs, however, require discovery: working through evidence, testing hypotheses, and reaching verifiable conclusions when no answer key exists. TRACES is the world’s first benchmark designed specifically for discoverative AI, evaluating six core capabilities (Tools, Repair, Alternatives, Coherence, Evidence, Scope). This is the shift we’ve been waiting for. Highly recommend checking it out!

Most AI benchmarks test retrieval — can a model find the known answer? However, the hardest problems in science require discovery, can a system earn an answer nobody has yet? Meet TRACES 🧭 — the world's first benchmark for measuring discoverative AI: AI that can work through evidence, test hypotheses, and reach verifiable conclusions on problems without answer keys. Proposed by our founder @tianqiao_chen, who defined its six capabilities. Three things published today: a definition of "discoverative intelligence", a rubric to tell sound investigation from lucky guesses, and a open call for both solvers and problems *Website:
