Scale-VQA: leaderboard

Scale-VQA (Phan et al., 2026) poses multiple-choice pathology questions over regions of TCGA whole-slide images at 10x, 40x and 200x magnification that need evidence from at least two magnifications, screened so that text-only models cannot answer them and validated by pathologists. Accuracy in percent on the 1,005-question test split, averaged over five reasoning dimensions; higher is better.

Metric: Accuracy (%; multiple-choice questions on paired 10x/40x/200x views of TCGA whole-slide images, Scale-VQA test split, 1,005 questions, mean of five dimensions). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around November 2027. 10 models tracked.
