CFE-Bench (Multimodal) - Variable Accuracy: leaderboard

Metric: Variable accuracy (%): mean over the 144 multimodal CFE-Bench problems (university STEM problems with diagrams, plots or schematics, kept only when the image is needed) of the share of annotated answer variables answered correctly; answers extracted and verified per annotated target variable by a GPT-5-mini judge (gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07) against expert-annotated values; chain-of-thought prompting, thinking capped at 16,000 tokens; higher is better. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around January 2027. 20 models tracked.
