NLCO - Set-L - Feasibility Rate: leaderboard

Share of large (Set-L) NLCO instances, 50 per task, where the model's own discrete answer parses and satisfies every constraint, whatever its objective value; no code or external solver is allowed. Percent, higher is better. NLCO (Jiang et al., Eindhoven University of Technology and others, 2026) renders 43 combinatorial optimization problem types (routing, packing, scheduling, covering, assignment) as natural-language scenarios with solver-annotated reference solutions.

Metric: Average feasibility rate: output satisfies every constraint (%). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Estimated already saturated. 16 models tracked.
