DatBench - General VQA: leaderboard

DatBench (DatologyAI, 2026) general-VQA suite: holistic visual question answering and exam-style multimodal reasoning, drawn from MMMU-Pro, MMBench and VQA-v2 after DatBench's curation (multiple-choice items turned into free-form answers judged by Qwen3-30B or scored circularly, items solvable without the image or flagged by a GPT-5.2 judge as mislabeled removed, and a high-discrimination subset kept). Accuracy in percent, higher is better, with generation capped at 4,096 tokens; the curation used the responses of the same 1B-10B models the paper scores.

Metric: Accuracy (%). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Estimated already saturated. 27 models tracked.
