Metric: Mean absolute error (people, 0 or more) on Task 3, the number of people in 10,000 grayscale thermal LLVIP images; zero-shot with fixed one-word or one-number prompts, a single forward pass; Gemini 2.5 models parse free-form answers into the label or number only when the output deviates from the format; lower is better. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Estimated already saturated. 19 models tracked.
