M3-AD-Bench: leaderboard

Metric: Balanced accuracy (%) of binary anomaly detection (is the image defective?), the mean of the recall on normal and on anomalous images, averaged over the Texture, Workpiece and Electronic scenes, zero-shot on M3-AD-Bench, the evaluation split of M3-AD (industrial images re-annotated from public anomaly-detection datasets under one taxonomy; its categories are held out from the M3-AD-FT training split), one structured answer per image; higher is better.
