RealWorldQA
RealWorldQA is a benchmark designed to evaluate basic real-world spatial understanding capabilities of multimodal models. The initial release consists of over 700 anonymized images taken from vehicles and other real-world scenarios, each accompanied by a question and easily verifiable answer. Released by xAI as part of their Grok-1.5 Vision preview to test models' ability to understand natural scenes and spatial relationships in everyday visual contexts.
Qwen3.6 Plus from Alibaba Cloud / Qwen Team currently leads the RealWorldQA leaderboard with a score of 0.854 across 22 evaluated AI models.
Qwen3.6 Plus leads with 85.4%, followed by
Qwen3.6-35B-A3B at 85.3% and
Qwen3.5-122B-A10B at 85.1%.

Humanity's Last Exam (HLE) is a multi-modal academic benchmark with 2,500 questions across mathematics, humanities, and natural sciences, designed to test LLM capabilities at the frontier of human knowledge with unambiguous, verifiable solutions
MMMU (Massive Multi-discipline Multimodal Understanding) is a benchmark designed to evaluate multimodal models on college-level subject knowledge and deliberate reasoning. Contains 11.5K meticulously collected multimodal questions from college exams, quizzes, and textbooks, covering six core disciplines: Art & Design, Business, Science, Health & Medicine, Humanities & Social Science, and Tech & Engineering across 30 subjects and 183 subfields.
A more robust multi-discipline multimodal understanding benchmark that enhances MMMU through a three-step process: filtering text-only answerable questions, augmenting candidate options, and introducing vision-only input settings. Achieves significantly lower model performance (16.8-26.9%) compared to original MMMU, providing more rigorous evaluation that closely mimics real-world scenarios.
