Three measures. Every required result gets a score from 0 to 1 by comparison with the reference. Passing requires a score of at least 0.80 and compliance with the required content, method and output instructions. BixBench3 acc is the share of results that pass. The continuous score is the plain average of all the result scores, with no pass mark. For example, run 1 of GPT-5.6 Luna with Galaxy-API code scored 0.994, 0.996, 0.728, 0.989, 0.599, 0.597, 0.264 and 0.335 on its 8 results. 1 of them pass, so BixBench3 acc = 1/8 = 0.125; the average of all 8 scores is 0.688, the continuous score. A third measure, all results pass, counts a run only when every scored result passes, which is the share of runs that delivered the whole analysis correctly. A failing result still contributes its numerical score to the continuous average. A score above 0.80 does not excuse an incorrect method, missing member or an explicitly required output format. Each card averages the scored runs of this task.

Error analysis

BixBench3 acc, Galaxy-API code vs Open-ended code: GPT-5.6 Luna 0.167 vs 0.167; GPT-5.6 Sol 0.917 vs 0.917; DeepSeek V4 Pro 0.833 vs 0.417.

What Galaxy added

DeepSeek V4 Pro passed twice the share of results in Galaxy. Its Open-ended runs added options the task does not ask for, which changed the variant calls in one run and the read filtering in another, and the third wrote its pairwise files with a script that left blank lines between records. Galaxy's trimming tool also produced the current report format, where two Open-ended runs installed older versions.

Why Galaxy did not do better

GPT-5.6 Luna failed in both conditions for the same reason: it switched off two extra genotype priors along with the requested ones, which changed genotype qualities. In two of its Galaxy runs the samples came out in reverse column order and the contrast filters chose samples by position, so four pairwise files compared the wrong strains. The Galaxy normalization form leaves indel left-alignment off by default, unlike the command-line tool, and one DeepSeek V4 Pro run kept that default. Annotation passed whenever the calls before it were right.

Run-level details (7)
  • All three Galaxy runs and the third Open-ended code run with GPT-5.6 Luna disabled the binomial-observation and allele-balance priors along with the requested population and HWE priors. The extra changes altered genotype qualities.
  • GPT-5.6 Luna's three Open-ended code runs and third Galaxy run returned short duplicate-count summaries or logs without the required library metrics table. Its first two Open-ended code runs also wrote their own QC summaries instead of complete native reports.
  • The first Open-ended code run with DeepSeek V4 Pro and the second with GPT-5.6 Luna merged nearby changes over a 50-base window. This changed the variant records and the downstream annotation and contrast domains.
  • In the first and third Galaxy runs and the third Open-ended code run with GPT-5.6 Sol, the caller also reported alleles it had seen but not called. The added alleles changed multiallelic records and their consequences.
  • The second Galaxy run with DeepSeek V4 Pro normalized without indel left-alignment, which the Galaxy normalization form leaves off by default. Its second Open-ended code run allowed mate overlaps as short as one base during filtering, changing trimming and downstream read counts.
  • The first two Galaxy runs with GPT-5.6 Luna listed strains in reverse order, S04 to S01. Their contrast filters selected samples by column position and therefore returned the wrong pair for four pairwise files. The first run also computed alignment statistics on deduplicated BAMs instead of the required proper-pair BAMs.
  • The third Open-ended code run with DeepSeek V4 Pro inserted blank lines between VCF records. The first Open-ended code run with GPT-5.6 Luna added a tag declared as one value but containing two values at multiallelic sites; its contrast script consumed the call set once, leaving the next five contrast files empty and reporting them as valid empty sets.
Instruction, format and method errors (8)

Every run

The task asks the agent to return a numbered list of results, each a file or a folder of files. The columns on the right give the score of each required result in each run, from 0 to 1 against the reference, under the result's number and name; the task text and the scoring table below describe each one. Green marks a passing result. Failing cells link to the reasons below, including instruction and format errors even when the numerical score is at least 0.80. Results joined by + are scored together as one. In each row, BixBench3 acc is the number of green cells divided by the number of results, and the continuous score is the average of all the result scores in the row. Tokens are input (including cached input) plus output tokens; minutes are the wall time of the run. Under Records, Trace opens the run's task text, agent event log, final message and returned files in the lab's run trace dataset on Hugging Face, and History opens the usegalaxy.org history that a Galaxy-API code run worked in.

Full task text

Task

Characterize small genomic differences among four haploid S. cerevisiae laboratory strains, preserving complete variant and annotation evidence. The strains are not treatment replicates. Use a haplotype-based Bayesian method for joint small-variant calling, allowing nearby linked changes to inform haploid genotypes. Compare normalized, annotated sample genotypes with explicit confidence filters, not merely presence in independently called variant lists. Distinguish nuclear and mitochondrial coding consequences.

Inputs

  • Four strains' eight complete paired-read files and sample/mate identities.
  • Ensembl R64-1-1 release-115 reference and annotation, including nuclear and mitochondrial sequences.

Key parameters and conditions

  • Align paired Illumina reads using maximal exact-match seeds with affine-gap Smith–Waterman extension; select coordinate-duplicate representatives by summed base qualities. Remove adapter sequence only where the two mates of a pair overlap (insert shorter than the read), without sequence-based adapter detection, and do not merge mates. Retain a pair only when both reads satisfy Q15 qualified bases with at most 40% unqualified bases, at most five ambiguous bases and minimum length 15 nt. Add no fixed-length trimming or sliding-window trimming. First retain alignment records marked as proper pairs, then remove duplicates; do not downsample or add region/depth exclusions.
  • Jointly genotype all four haploid samples without a population/HWE prior, with genotype qualities and minimum base/MAPQ 20. A candidate alternate allele must have count≥2 and fraction≥0.20 within at least one single sample; do not pool counts across the four samples to meet these thresholds. Retain all candidate sites (variant probability cutoff 0).
  • Normalize against the supplied reference and stop on REF mismatches. Preserve multiallelic and complex records without atomizing or splitting. Retain sample-level missing and low-confidence calls.
  • Build an effect-annotation database from the supplied genome and gene annotation. Report all consequences/transcripts in the standard 16-field ANN representation, including HIGH, MODERATE, LOW or MODIFIER impact categories, using the applicable nuclear/yeast-mitochondrial genetic code in each compartment. For every unordered pair, select differing nonmissing haploid genotypes with QUAL≥30 and DP≥10/GQ≥20 in both samples. Absence or missing genotype is not evidence of reference identity. Briefly discuss uncertain calls and comparison limitations.
  • Apply upstream/downstream effect-annotation windows of zero bases. Annotate the complete normalized call set; derive pairwise contrasts from its unannotated normalized representation, retaining all four sample columns S01–S04 even in pairwise or empty VCFs. Use lexicographic pair names. Soft-clip supplementary alignments and retain supplementary mapping quality rather than applying its special reduction. Report alignment statistics on the proper-pair BAM.

How this task is scored

Each scored result is compared with the reference result, which the task authors made by running the IWC workflow behind this task on usegalaxy.org with the settings in the task text. A result's score is the product of the checks listed for it, each from 0 to 1. When a result is scored per sample or other unit, each copy gets its own score and the result's score is their average; if any copy is missing or cannot be read, the result scores 0. A passing result must score at least 0.80 and meet the required member checks, method and output instructions. A failing result retains its numerical score in the continuous average. The overview page describes the checks in more detail.
