FretBench – I tested 14 LLMs on reading guitar tabs. Most failed
Clever benchmark exposing LLM tokenization weakness on ASCII art, but narrow domain.

AI Analysis
●●●BangerBig BrainDark Horse
Proves mesh-to-BREP failure modes with IRT-calibrated scores across 28-task pilot suite.
Strengths
- •2PL IRT ability θ calibration against task difficulty provides statistically rigorous rankings
- •Pareto frontier visualization shows capability vs cost tradeoffs for production decision-making
- •Human baseline (n=4 senior engineers) establishes realistic ceiling for AI agent performance
Weaknesses
- •Pilot subset of 28 tasks may not capture full complexity of real-world CAD workflows
- •Cost metrics favor API-based agents over local inference, skewing economic comparisons
