Reported in recent model launches
These model reports include this benchmark. Their harnesses, task subsets, scoring policies, and resource budgets can differ; follow each report’s evaluation notes before joining the numbers.
What it measures
Challenging visual questions probe failures that remain after ordinary image understanding becomes strong.
How to read the result
Trace the answer back to the visual evidence. A confident description of the scene is weaker evidence than correctly resolving the question asked.
Limits and comparison traps
Python-assisted and direct-answer settings differ. Retain image transformations, tool access, task subset, and attempt counts.
Published evaluation
Exact values from the publisher’s embedded full comparison table. Maximum effort, fallback settings and dated model versions remain in model labels. Blank cells stay missing. Source footnotes specify mixed harnesses and externally quoted comparisons; this is a launch-reported cohort rather than a new independent evaluation.
Where this fits in an evaluation suite
Ask what the task actually requires: recall, deduction, search, or a mixture. Separate closed-book reasoning from retrieval and tool-assisted problem solving.
Start with a capability hypothesis, then choose a second test with a different failure mode. Keep the checkpoint, reasoning effort, agent tools, sampling policy, and scoring procedure fixed when measuring a training intervention. Record failures and missing outputs in the denominator.
A reproducible comparison
Exact values from the publisher’s embedded full comparison table. Maximum effort, fallback settings and dated model versions remain in model labels. Blank cells stay missing. Source footnotes specify mixed harnesses and externally quoted comparisons; this is a launch-reported cohort rather than a new independent evaluation.
Publish the exact run configuration, item coverage, score units, and available uncertainty. If a source supplies only an aggregate or a single run, preserve that limit. A new model name or a rounded score alone does not establish a capability improvement.
