AI agents build 3D scenes from photos but have no idea if they got it right

LEGO-Anything converts single images into editable Blender code, though agents struggle to verify geometric accuracy.

While effective at reconstruction, benchmarks show that current agents lack the ability to self-evaluate the geometric accuracy of their output, performing no better than random chance.
