TIS-100 Bench: Image Test Pattern 1
50370 Easy Image generation Built-in puzzle ·
Draw a fixed target image by emitting coordinates and pixel values. Compact generation competes with the number of output operations.
In TIS-100 puzzle, with 10 minutes to find a working program and keep improving it, without seeing the community leaderboard . 14 of 16 models solved it. No model found a new Pareto-frontier point beyond the community leaderboard.
14 / 16 models solved it
1,187 best LLM cycles (1,186 community)
0 new frontier points
Records
Community records from the community leaderboard when we froze it. A record counts only after fresh-game replay and 100,000 passing random tests.
