Design Bench

Design Bench is a benchmark for agentic abilities such as tool use, retrieval and autonomous workflows. The official description says: "Internal Moonshot Elo-score benchmark for graphic design via direct and reference-image few-shot prompting". Below we describe in simple words what benchmarks of this type generally examine.

Design Bench measures agentic abilities such as tool use, retrieval and autonomous workflows. In detail, it checks:

• choosing and calling the right tools for a task
• keeping track of what it has already done and what is left
• recovering from failed or contradicting tool results
• completing a defined workflow end-to-end

The score is an Elo rating, built from head-to-head comparisons between models (like chess ratings). The number is only meaningful relative to the other rated models — higher is better.

What does Design Bench test?

Design Bench mainly measures agentic abilities such as tool use, retrieval and autonomous workflows. Concretely, it checks: choosing and calling the right tools for a task; keeping track of what it has already done and what is left; recovering from failed or contradicting tool results.

How is the Design Bench score calculated?

The score is an Elo rating, built from head-to-head comparisons between models (like chess ratings). The number is only meaningful relative to the other rated models — higher is better.
