TurtleAI - Real: leaderboard
The real-world set of TurtleAI (2026): 102 visual programming tasks from the XLogoOnline platform, designed for students in grades 3-6, where a model writes turtle graphics code reproducing a pattern image. Success means the generated program, run in a canonicalizing emulator, draws a pattern that matches the reference pixel by pixel; percent, higher is better.
Metric: Success rate (%) on the 102 TurtleAI-DSReal tasks (XLogoOnline Midi and Maxi levels designed for grades 3-6), symbolic comparison: the predicted Python turtle program is run in a canonicalizing emulator and succeeds when its normalized drawing matches the reference pixel by pixel (0.95 or 0.92 overlap threshold), greedy decoding, one fixed prompt with the task image; higher is better. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around February 2027. 18 models tracked.
