GapEval - Instruction Following (Understanding): leaderboard
GapEval (Wang et al., 2026) poses bidirectional multimodal questions that a model can answer in text or with a generated image; these boards score the text answers. Instruction following: describe the result of explicit and rule-based edits to regions of an image. Accuracy in percent, judged correct or incorrect by GPT-5-mini against a reference answer and averaged over ten sampled runs; higher is better.
Metric: Accuracy (%; describe the result of explicit and implicit image-region edits; text answers to GapEval's bidirectional questions, judged correct or incorrect by GPT-5-mini against reference answers, mean of ten sampled runs). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Estimated already saturated. 15 models tracked.
