New Vector-Bench benchmark reveals AI struggles with precise SVG code editing

Researchers have introduced Vector-Bench, a new benchmark designed to evaluate the ability of AI models to precisely edit Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) code. The benchmark consists of 40 challenging tasks, each pairing a corrupted SVG with a visual instruction and a hidden target program. Vector-Bench assesses models on their capacity to make requested changes while leaving other aspects of the code unchanged, using a deterministic reward specification that considers perceptual tolerances for repairs and semantic integrity for unrequested elements. Evaluations of 34 model endpoints revealed that even the most capable models achieved only 15.0% success in fully meeting the specification, highlighting a significant gap between apparent repair progress and faithful editing.

    Vector-Bench: Can Models Surgically Edit SVG Code?

    arXiv:2607.19056v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Instruction-based vector editing requires two capabilities: making a requested change and leaving everything else alone. The second is easy to miss when an output is judged only as a raster image. We introduce Vector-Bench, a compac…
