MazeBench is a 3D open-world benchmark where today’s agents stall in the first levels
MazeBench is a 3D open-world environment built to evaluate long-term planning and visual spatial reasoning. It spans hundreds of rooms and puzzles, and the authors say current best agents cannot get past the early stages.
The benchmark is meant to stress skills that standard tests often miss: navigating a persistent world, remembering structure over long horizons, and acting coherently across many steps.
