What is DocVQA?
A dataset for Visual Question Answering on document images containing 50,000 questions defined on 12,000+ document images. The benchmark tests AI's ability to understand document structure and content, requiring models to comprehend document layout and perform information retrieval to answer questions about document images.
DocVQA is a multimodal benchmark evaluating models on multimodal, image to text, and vision tasks. LLM Stats tracks 26 models on this benchmark, scored on a 0–1 scale. The current average is 0.9, with the leader at 1.0.
Compare leaders on the best AI for multimodal, best AI for image to text and best AI for vision leaderboards.
Current leaders
Qwen2.5 VL 72B Instruct from Alibaba Cloud / Qwen Team currently leads the DocVQA leaderboard with a score of 0.964 across 26 evaluated AI models.

Abstract
We present a new dataset for Visual Question Answering (VQA) on document images called DocVQA. The dataset consists of 50,000 questions defined on 12,000+ document images. Detailed analysis of the dataset in comparison with similar datasets for VQA and reading comprehension is presented. We report several baseline results by adopting existing VQA and reading comprehension models. Although the existing models perform reasonably well on certain types of questions, there is large performance gap compared to human performance (94.36% accuracy). The models need to improve specifically on questions where understanding structure of the document is crucial. The dataset, code and leaderboard are available at docvqa.org
