SciIR-Bench: leaderboard
SciIR-Bench (2026) tests text-to-image models on 800 scientific illustration prompts drawn from open-access publications; a Gemini 3 Pro reviewer answers atomic yes or no checks, and an image counts for a track only if it passes every check of that track. The board is the final accuracy in percent over the four tracks; higher is better.
Metric: Final accuracy (%) over the four tracks on 800 scientific illustration prompts from open-access publications; a gemini-3-pro-preview reviewer answers the atomic binary checks generated for each prompt with visual evidence retrieval; a sample counts only if it passes every check of the track; averaged over intrinsic-reasoning (abstract prompt) and instruction-following (dense scientific reasoning chain prompt) samples; higher is better. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Rough model projection: around 2026. 11 models tracked.
