SteelBench - Macro-F1: leaderboard

SteelBench (2026) evaluates vision-language models on 1,345 real steel-plant CCTV clips with distant workers, dust, steam, glare and occlusion, using a 25-class action taxonomy and plant safety rules. Macro-F1 over the 25 action classes, in percent, higher is better.

Metric: Macro-F1 over the 25 action classes (%; 1,345 densely annotated clips of real steel-plant CCTV footage (8 frames at 1080p per clip) from six industrial domains, zero-shot structured prompt with the 25-class action taxonomy, site context, PPE definitions and safety rules; provider-default temperature; failed parses count as wrong). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around 2035. 9 models tracked.
