A new benchmark, Design Creativity Bench, evaluated 16 frontier models on 80 open-ended UI tasks across originality, creative range, and appropriateness. The top model, OpenAI GPT-6 Astra, scored 65.5 versus a human reference of 92.3, a substantial gap. The work also highlights a "diversity collapse" in LLM outputs.
