From Charts to Code: A Hierarchical Benchmark for Multimodal Models

From Charts to Code: Meet the New Test That Challenges AI

Ever wondered if a computer can turn a messy spreadsheet into a beautiful graph just by listening to your instructions? Chart2Code is the latest benchmark that puts that question to the test.
Imagine giving a friend a pile of Lego bricks and asking them to build a castle, a spaceship, or a bridge—each step harder than the last.
That’s exactly what researchers did, creating three levels of tasks: copying a chart, editing it, and finally turning a long table into a perfect visual.
Even the most powerful AI models, like GPT‑5, struggled, scoring barely above half on the coding part and even lower on the visual quality.
This shows that while AI can write code, making it look right is still a big challenge.
The hope? By pushing these limits, we’ll soon have assistants that can instantly turn data into clear, share‑ready graphics, saving us hours of work.
The future of data storytelling is just beginning—and it’s more exciting than ever.
