RTL-BenchLS - Round-Trip NL Spec (r=0.5): leaderboard
Round-trip reasoning on 420 designs: the model compresses a Verilog design into a natural-language specification at most half the design length, then regenerates the RTL from its own specification, from RTL-BenchLS (2026), a benchmark of formally verified Verilog designs; the score is the functional pass rate in percent, where output must be formally equivalent to the golden design (Cadence LEC or SEC), and higher is better.
Metric: Functional pass rate (%) on round-trip reasoning on 420 designs (slice 1 of RTL-BenchLS): the model compresses a Verilog design into an intermediate abstract, then regenerates the RTL from its own abstract, the abstract a natural-language specification at most 0.5 times the design length; functional pass rate (%; output formally equivalent to the golden design, Cadence Conformal LEC for combinational and JasperGold SEC for sequential designs), temperature 0.2; higher is better.
