What is EASEL?
EASEL measures dexterous visual tool use in multimodal agents, chiefly via reference-guided painting of a canvas to match a reference image, plus region annotation, handwriting and path planning tasks.

“adopts reference-guided visual reconstruction as its primary proxy task: the agent incrementally paints a canvas to match a reference image.”

Tier B
Established: 15 or more models scored, or curated RL directories rate it.
How much stands behind a tier: usage, who backs it, a confirmed line from its own site or paper, and a clear read on X. High with three of the four, medium with two, low otherwise.

How we got to tier B
- Adoption: 20 models scored. Tier B.
- On X: unclear, none buzz No move.
- In curated RL directories: 1 point, a floor of none.
- Confirmed: a line from its own site or paper places it.
A clear view on X moves a tier one step up or down; most entries don't move. How tiers work.
