DiagnosticIQ: A Benchmark for LLM-Based Industrial Maintenance Action Recommendation
Researchers have introduced DiagnosticIQ, a new benchmark designed to evaluate the capability of Large Language Models (LLMs) in translating symbolic industrial maintenance rules into actionable corrective steps. Addressing the bottleneck where detection is easy but response requires specialized knowledge, the study presents 6,690 expert-validated multiple-choice questions across 16 asset types. The benchmark utilizes a symbolic-to-MCQA pipeline and includes five variants to probe specific failure modes like brittleness and pattern-matching. Evaluating 29 LLMs, the findings indicate that while top models like claude-opus-4-6 lead in performance, the frontier has largely closed. However, significant vulnerabilities remain; models exhibit substantial accuracy drops under distractor expansion and often rely on superficial pattern matching rather than true logical understanding when conditions are inverted. The study concludes that the primary deployment challenge is not raw capability but calibration, as current frontier models struggle with structural perturbations despite handling template-style fault detection effectively.
