A multi-task video understanding benchmark averaged across MLVU categories.
BenchLM is tracking MLVU (M-Avg) in the local dataset, but exact-source verification records for these rows are still being attached. To avoid a blank benchmark page, BenchLM shows the current tracked rows below as a display-only reference table.
These tracked rows are useful for inspection and spot-checking, but until exact-source attachments are completed they should not be treated as fully verified public benchmark rows.
BenchLM mirrors the published tracked score view for MLVU (M-Avg). Qwen3.6 Plus leads the public snapshot at 86.7% , followed by Qwen3.5 397B (86.7%) and GPT-5.2 (85.6%). BenchLM does not use these results to rank models overall.

The published MLVU (M-Avg) snapshot is tightly clustered at the top: Qwen3.6 Plus sits at 86.7%, while the third row is only 1.1 points behind. The broader top-10 spread is 5.0 points, so many of the published scores sit in a relatively narrow band.
6 models have been evaluated on MLVU (M-Avg). The benchmark falls in the Multimodal & Grounded category. This category carries a 12% weight in BenchLM.ai's overall scoring system. MLVU (M-Avg) is currently displayed for reference but excluded from the scoring formula, so it does not directly affect overall rankings.
