VisualWebBench
What is VisualWebBench?
A multimodal benchmark designed to assess the capabilities of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) across web page understanding and grounding tasks. Comprises 7 tasks (captioning, webpage QA, heading OCR, element OCR, element grounding, action prediction, and action grounding) with 1.5K human-curated instances from 139 real websites across 87 sub-domains.
VisualWebBench is a multimodal benchmark evaluating models on multimodal, frontend development, and vision tasks. LLM Stats tracks 2 models on this benchmark, scored on a 0–1 scale. The current average is 0.8, with the leader at 0.8.
Compare leaders on the best AI for multimodal, best AI for frontend development and best AI for vision leaderboards.
Current leaders
Nova Pro from Amazon currently leads the VisualWebBench leaderboard with a score of 0.797 across 2 evaluated AI models.

Abstract
Multimodal Large Language models (MLLMs) have shown promise in web-related tasks, but evaluating their performance in the web domain remains a challenge due to the lack of comprehensive benchmarks. Existing benchmarks are either designed for general multimodal tasks, failing to capture the unique characteristics of web pages, or focus on end-to-end web agent tasks, unable to measure fine-grained abilities such as OCR, understanding, and grounding. In this paper, we introduce \bench{}, a multimodal benchmark designed to assess the capabilities of MLLMs across a variety of web tasks. \bench{} consists of seven tasks, and comprises 1.5K human-curated instances from 139 real websites, covering 87 sub-domains. We evaluate 14 open-source MLLMs, Gemini Pro, Claude-3 series, and GPT-4V(ision) on \bench{}, revealing significant challenges and performance gaps. Further analysis highlights the limitations of current MLLMs, including inadequate grounding in text-rich environments and subpar performance with low-resolution image inputs. We believe \bench{} will serve as a valuable resource for the research community and contribute to the creation of more powerful and versatile MLLMs for web-related applications.
