MazeBench is a 3D benchmark where today’s best agents still fail the first levels

MazeBench is a new 3D open-world benchmark for testing long-horizon planning and visual-spatial reasoning.
The environment contains hundreds of rooms and puzzles, and the post claims that today’s best agents still cannot get past the initial levels. That makes it a stress test for agents that look competent on short tasks but fail once planning and memory requirements stretch out.
