EngiWorld: What Can Frontier Agents Deliver in Professional Engineering Environments?

Autonomous agents have made rapid progress in general-purpose computer use, yet reliable automation of professional industrial engineering remains out of reach. Engineering workflows require reasoning over geometric and physical constraints and keeping dependencies consistent across software and design stages. We present EngiWorld, a benchmark designed around the capabilities that real engineering projects require, from operating a single application to solving engineering problems end to end. It contains 1,301 expert-curated tasks spanning six engineering domains (CAD, CAE, CAM, BIM, EDA, and DCC) and 26 professional software applications, with both GUI and CLI interfaces. The tasks are organized into six types, corresponding to capabilities that real engineering projects require. We further introduce an artifact-centric evaluation methodology built on a unified suite of domain verifiers. The verifiers programmatically check whether final and intermediate artifacts are geometrically valid, physically feasible, and compliant with design rules. Beyond binary success, they also score how well optimized designs meet their specifications. Evaluation of seven frontier models reveals a…
