HiEviDR-Bench (RAG): leaderboard

HiEviDR-Bench (UCAS, Tsinghua and others, 2026) tests multimodal deep-research reports on its Wikipedia and arXiv question sets under the one-pass retrieval-augmented pipeline. A Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B judge scores each report against a hierarchical evidence graph on five 0-20 dimensions (report quality, evidence traceability, and gated citation, claim and answer scores); the score is the mean over the Wikipedia and arXiv sets of that 0 to 100 sum, higher is better.

Metric: Overall score (0-100): sum of five 0-20 dimension scores (multimodal report quality, evidence traceability, and progressively gated citation, claim and answer scores) judged by Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B-Instruct against the hierarchical evidence graph, averaged over the Wikipedia and arXiv subsets; MLLM with RAG: one-pass report generation over the top-15 retrieved multimodal evidence items; higher is better. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around 2033. 16 models tracked.
