# BenchCAD — AI model rankings

Can the AI do mechanical design as code? Given a drawing or a description of an industrial part — a gear, a spring, a drill bit — it has to write or edit the parametric CAD program that builds it, and the program is run to check the shape really comes out right. Higher is better.

1 tracked model have a published BenchCAD score. Higher is better. Scores are as published at each model's release.
