ReFigBench (Direct Code Generation) - Human Preference Elo: leaderboard

Blinded human preferences on ReFigBench (Fan et al., 2026) for slides rebuilt with the direct code workflow: annotators compare two renderings of the same source figure, and a Bradley-Terry model over all ten evaluated configurations gives Elo strengths with mean 1,000. Higher is better, and each row is one model run inside one agent harness.

Metric: Human preference Elo (direct workflow: the agent writes a program that builds the slide with a general PPTX library (python-pptx); Bradley-Terry strength on the Elo scale (mean 1,000 over the ten configurations) from 4,270 blinded pairwise human comparisons of renderings of the same source figure, a tie counting half a win). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around June 2027. 5 models tracked.
