- What happened
- Researchers created SciExam for ENSO, a benchmark where AI agents build climate models from real observations without a known correct answer.
- Why it matters
- Climate scientists and AI researchers evaluating whether language model agents can conduct genuine scientific research beyond pattern matching.
- Watch out
- Models were built within six hours on simplified ENSO dynamics; unclear how this scales to full climate models or longer timescales.
