AudioProcessBench - First-Error Identification: leaderboard
AudioProcessBench (2026) tests audio and omni-modal models as critics of audio-grounded reasoning: given an audio question and a model-written reasoning chain split into steps, the critic marks each step correct or wrong; 3,872 annotated chains from MMAR, MMSU and MMAU-Pro questions. This board is the PRMScore on a 0 to 100 scale for finding the first wrong step of each chain; higher is better.
Metric: PRMScore (0-100) for locating the first erroneous step of each reasoning chain; 3,872 reasoning traces (23,497 steps, 41% erroneous) from six audio and omni models on MMAR, MMSU and MMAU-Pro questions, steps labelled by two LLM annotators with human review; few-shot critic prompt with three annotated example chains, temperature 0.7; higher is better. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around February 2027. 11 models tracked.
