See-or-Guess VQA - Question-Guided: leaderboard

The question-guided variant of See-or-Guess VQA (2026), a probe of how much vision-language models rely on textual priors: the source question rewritten into a harder, more image-dependent form, scored as accuracy in percent with the image, judged by Qwen3-14B. Higher is better.

Metric: Question-Guided variant (Gemini-2.5-Pro rewrite of the source question into a harder, more image-dependent form): accuracy (%) with the image over 540 images from 21 public benchmarks in six reasoning categories; Qwen3-14B judges answer equivalence (yes/no), lenient extraction of answers after a missing </think> tag. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around June 2027. 11 models tracked.
