ST-Bench (Image Input) - Etiological Spatial Reasoning: leaderboard
Etiological spatial reasoning task of ST-Bench (Ni, Wang, He, Jin and Jin, STReasoner paper, 2026): given the multivariate time series of a node graph, the model picks which of four scenario descriptions explains the observed dynamics. The model sees the node series rendered as plot images with the graph structure in text; scenarios are synthetic network simulations and Claude-4.5-Sonnet wrote the questions. Accuracy in percent on 207 held-out questions; higher is better.
Metric: Accuracy (%; 207 four-option questions). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around February 2027. 5 models tracked.
