A Benchmark and Agentic Framework for Omni-Modal Reasoning and Tool Use in Long Videos

arXiv · · Significant research

Summary

A new benchmark, LongShOTBench, is introduced for evaluating multimodal reasoning and tool use in long videos, featuring open-ended questions and diagnostic rubrics. The benchmark addresses the limitations of existing datasets by combining temporal length and multimodal richness, using human-validated samples. LongShOTAgent, an agentic system, is also presented for analyzing long videos, with both the benchmark and agent demonstrating the challenges faced by state-of-the-art MLLMs.

Agent-X: Evaluating Deep Multimodal Reasoning in Vision-Centric Agentic Tasks

arXiv ·

MBZUAI introduces Agent-X, a benchmark for evaluating multi-step reasoning in vision-centric agents across real-world, multimodal settings. Agent-X includes 828 tasks with diverse visual contexts and spans six environments, requiring tool use and stepwise decision-making. Experiments show that current LLMs struggle with multi-step vision tasks, achieving less than 50% success, highlighting areas for improvement in LMM reasoning and tool use.
