Bio-VQA - Viewpoint: leaderboard

Fine-grained biological visual QA covering taxonomy, traits, spatial reasoning and individual re-identification. Agreement over gold labels. Bio-VQA v1 Table3 native headline columns,18 generalist checkpoints bound to Table13. Greedy decoding, no sampling/chain-of-thought/few-shot; one attempt per item, same prompts and scorer. Do not replace these Table3 measures with differently defined appendix headline metrics. Domain-specialist embedding baselines, Mean and Floor rows are not generic evaluated VLMs and are not admitted.

Metric: Agreement over gold labels. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Rough model projection: around 2026. 18 models tracked.
