TECCI - Instruction Following: leaderboard

Instruction-guided image editing on TECCI (Agrawal et al., 2026), newly collected images in seven categories picked for hard edits: the share of 1,315 sampled edits whose mean rating from five trained raters reaches 4.5 of 5 for carrying out every requested change. Percent; higher is better.

Metric: Instruction-following human success rate (%; five trained raters score each edit 1-5 and a criterion succeeds when the mean is at least 4.5; 1,315 sampled pairs: 265 of the Instruction Rich Challenge Set and 1,050 of the Gemini Generated Instruction Set). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Rough model projection: around 2026. 5 models tracked.
