KVBench (Brief Caption) - History (English): leaderboard

Metric: Checklist score (%) on the history prompts in English, each given as a brief caption, so the model must supply the textbook knowledge itself: KVBench knowledge-intensive text-to-image prompts from over 30 senior high-school textbooks (150 per subject and language, each with a textbook reference image); Qwen2.5-VL-32B-Instruct answers a checklist of four to six binary questions (key objects, attributes, spatial relations, reasoning outcomes) about each generated image, and the score is the mean share of satisfied items, in percent; higher is better. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Rough model projection: around 2026. 14 models tracked.
