ThermEval - Temperature Estimation (Marker): leaderboard

Metric: Mean absolute error (degrees Celsius, 0 or more) on Task 6, the temperature of the pixel an arrow and ring mark in a ThermEval-D image (2,400 questions); 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: Around March 2027. 24 models tracked.
