ReFigBench: Benchmarking Scientific Figure Reconstruction as Editable PowerPoint Artifacts
Multimodal coding agents are expected to turn visual inputs into usable artifacts, and they act through a harness, the layer of tools, context management, and execution environment around the model. Existing evaluations often isolate short tool calls, API traces, or screenshot resemblance, and a low score under these proxies cannot say whether the model saw poorly, planned poorly, or was failed by its harness. We study scientific overview figure reconstruction, an agent task in which a source image must become an editable PowerPoint slide that preserves text, topology, layout, and native document structure. We introduce ReFigBench, a benchmark and evaluation framework built on 1,000 real ...
