Animation2Code (Image Frames) - Appearance Similarity: leaderboard
Video-to-code benchmark (Animation2Code, Ji, Mudunuri, Chan and Suhr, UC Berkeley, 2026): the model sees a CodePen web animation as image frames sampled at 2 FPS and must write one self-contained HTML/CSS/JavaScript file that reproduces it. Appearance similarity is the mean DreamSim cosine similarity between reference and rendered frames along a dynamic-time-warping alignment, inside the animated region (at most 1). The score is the mean over the 214 test animations, zero-shot; higher is better.
Metric: Appearance similarity (-1 to 1; mean DreamSim cosine similarity along a DTW frame alignment; 214 test animations, zero-shot, video given as image frames sampled at 2 FPS). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Estimated already saturated. 5 models tracked.
