RWE-Bench launches to eval AI on real-world engineering: rockets, engines, chips

XploreAi introduces the Real World Engineering Bench (RWE-Bench), designed to evaluate AI on physical-world engineering tasks like rockets, engines, and chips — areas where AI still falls short.
The authors argue that with better evals and RL environments, AI will eventually master these domains: "Software was just the beginning. The physical world is next." The surrounding retweet mainly hypes the growing Madrid AI startup scene around Nova's founder.
