Cookie-Bench: Continuous On-screen Key Interaction Evaluation for Web Generation
Front-end web code has become a core product surface for every frontier LLM release, yet evaluating these interactive applications at development speed remains costly because human-judged leaderboards like Arena do not scale. Existing automated proxies typically lean on reference implementations, test suites, or rigid checklists, and tend to miss the reasoned synthesis a human reviewer performs over a live session. We articulate a new evaluation regime that is simultaneously reference-free, autonomously driven, and holistically reasoned, and instantiate it through two artifacts. \textbf{\dataname} is an 11-domain, 54-leaf, 1,000-query WebDev benchmark spanning both static-presentation and interactive-application tasks, balanced across three difficulty tiers and three target-language groups, with briefs rewritten to resist recall from circulated prompts. \textbf{\framename}, grounded in Flavell's metacognitive monitoring, separates evidence accumulation from judgment across three stages: Static Perception forms a first impression from passive observation; Agent-Driven Interaction explores the application autonomously while capturing continuous screen video, audio, and per-step screenshots; Dynamic Scoring issues holistic functionality and aesthetics verdicts with structured failure attribution only after the evidence chain is complete. On \dataname, \framename aligns closely with expert human ratings while surfacing substantial headroom across 13 frontier LLMs on interactive web generation. \noindenthttps://anonymous.4open.science/r/Cookie-3CE/
OmniDiagram: Advancing Unified Diagram Code Generation via Visual Interrogation Reward
The paradigm of programmable diagram generation is evolving rapidly, playing a crucial role in structured visualization. However, most existing studies are confined to a narrow range of task formulations and language support, constraining their applicability to diverse diagram types. In this work, we propose OmniDiagram, a unified framework that incorporates diverse diagram code languages and task definitions. To address the challenge of aligning code logic with visual fidelity in Reinforcement Learning (RL), we introduce a novel visual feedback strategy named Visual Interrogation Verifies All (\textsc{Viva}). Unlike brittle syntax-based rules or pixel-level matching, \textsc{Viva} rewards the visual structure of rendered diagrams through a generative approach. Specifically, \textsc{Viva} actively generates targeted visual inquiries to scrutinize diagram visual fidelity and provides fine-grained feedback for optimization. This mechanism facilitates a self-evolving training process, effectively obviating the need for manually annotated ground truth code. Furthermore, we construct M3$^2$Diagram, the first large-scale diagram code generation dataset, containing over 196k high-quality instances. Experimental results confirm that the combination of SFT and our \textsc{Viva}-based RL allows OmniDiagram to establish a new state-of-the-art (SOTA) across diagram code generation benchmarks.
