Researchers have developed a new benchmark, Autoregressive Mosaics (AM-Bench), to evaluate the 2D spatial reasoning capabilities of text-only large language models. The benchmark includes a translation task where models generate code for fully specified geometries and a layout task that assesses their ability to compose images from underspecified prompts. Results indicate that while all tested models can translate specified geometry into code, their performance on open-ended layout tasks varies significantly, suggesting differences beyond mere code-generation ability. The study also found that using raw SVG as an output medium improves layout scores compared to procedural code, and that models develop a coarse layout plan before generation, which evolves during the process.
