EpiBench: Can LLMs Understand Epitopes for Antibody Drug Discovery?

The results show that current LLMs capture partial epitope-related signals but remain limited in antibody-specific sequence grounding, long-context residue localization, and biologically grounded reasoning, so EpiBench provides a diagnostic testbed for measuring and improving sequence-aware biomedical LLMs toward reliable LLM-assisted antibody discovery.
