ExplorationBench: Measuring AI Systems' Exploration in Verifiable Alien Worlds

Scientific discovery begins where known problems end. There, AI systems must engage in exploration: framing hypotheses, designing experiments, and iterating on the results. However, evaluating this ability is difficult: (1) how to verify whether a genuinely new hypothesis holds, and (2) how to determine whether a system has discovered it through exploration or merely recalled related knowledge from pre-training data. To this end, we introduce ExplorationBench, which turns the wicked problem of evaluating scientific exploration into a concrete and tractable framework built on verifiable Alien Worlds: their rules are executable, so every answer can be checked exactly, and they conflict with familiar knowledge, so recall alone cannot solve the tasks. The benchmark contains two sandboxes, AlienCode (31 discovery targets, 70 tasks) and AlienLogic (24 discovery targets, 70 tasks). Each sandbo…
