Snorkel AI's LibraryDesignBench puts the best agent-designed library run at 48.9, ahead of 46.6 for human-written production libraries. Because the score also pays for shorter downstream code, the lead measures how easily other agents could use each interface.

A dev.to post argues the cases-by-models-by-prompt-variants grid is ordinary parameter-sweep work, and that only traces and span debugging justify a vendor bill. The arithmetic backs it.
