PostEDA-Bench (Proposer-Critic) - DRC-Reasoning: leaderboard

Practical design-rule repair set of PostEDA-Bench (Liu et al., University of Minnesota, 2026): a proposer-critic agent pair (a critic approves each action before it is dispatched) fixes violations that remain after full OpenROAD or commercial place-and-route flows and built-in repair, which need geometric reasoning and one to several layout edits. Success rate in percent over 30 tasks, each the share of 5 temperature-0 runs that end DRC-clean within 8 agent actions; higher is better.

Metric: Success rate (%; 30 residual post-flow DRC repair tasks, mean of 5 temperature-0 runs per task, Proposer-Critic agent). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around August 2027. 4 models tracked.
