Title: TurtleAI: Benchmarking Multimodal Models for Visual Programming in Turtle Graphics

Abstract:
arXiv:2606.03626v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) have been explored for visual programming, where they generate code to solve visual tasks. However, most prior work focuses on visual programming for productivity; it remains unclear how well current VLMs perform on education-oriented visual programming and what factors limit their performance. To bridge this gap, we introduce TurtleAI, a benchmark containing 823 tasks curated based on real-world visual programming t
