VIABench - Vision-Guided Interaction: leaderboard

VIABench (Nanjing University, 2026) evaluates multimodal LLMs as assistants for visually impaired people on first-person videos recorded or shared by blind users. In this multi-turn task the model guides the user through an intended interaction, with the reference history of earlier turns supplied; GPT-5 scores similarity to the reference guidance from 0 to 100, higher is better.

Metric: Vision-guided interaction score (0-100): multi-turn guidance toward an intended interaction with the environment, with the ground-truth history of earlier turns supplied, judged by GPT-5 as the semantic similarity (0 to 1, reported times 100) between the model answer and the ground-truth annotation, on first-person videos recorded or shared by visually impaired people, with each model at its default frame sampling; higher is better. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around February 2027. 15 models tracked.
