PRISM-VLM: leaderboard

PRISM-VLM (NAVER, 2026) evaluates compact vision-language models, open-weight models up to 10B parameters and low-cost API tiers, on 6,238 items recycled from 15 public VLM benchmarks and perturbed along seven axes. PScore is the harmonic mean of the seven per-axis mean scores in percent, so one weak axis pulls it down; higher is better. GPT-5 generates the perturbations and grades the open-ended axes, and each model runs at the lowest reasoning effort its provider exposes.

Metric: PScore (%; harmonic mean of the seven per-axis mean scores, x100, over PRISM-VLM's 6,238 items recycled from 15 public VLM benchmarks (five seeds of 100 items per benchmark); GPT-5 (low effort) synthesizes the perturbations and grades the open-ended axes; each model at the lowest reasoning effort its provider exposes, temperature 0). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around February 2027. 42 models tracked.
