Multi-modal large language models(MLLMs) have achieved remarkable progress and demonstrated powerful knowledge comprehension and reasoning abilities. However, the mastery of domain-specific knowledge, which is essential for evaluating the intelligence of MLLMs, continues to be a challenge. Current multi-modal benchmarks for domain-specific knowledge concentrate on multiple-choice questions and are predominantly available in English, which imposes limitations on the comprehensiveness of the evaluation. To this end, we introduce CMMU, a novel benchmark for multi-modal and multi-type question understanding and reasoning in Chinese. CMMU consists of 3,603 questions in 7 subjects, covering knowledge from primary to high school. The questions can be categorized into 3 types: multiple-choice, multiple-response, and fill-in-the-blank, bringing greater challenges to MLLMs. In addition, we propose an evaluation strategy called Positional Error Variance for assessing multiple-choice questions. The strategy aims to perform a quantitative analysis of position bias. We evaluate seven open-source MLLMs along with GPT4-V, Gemini-Pro, and Qwen-VL-Plus. The results demonstrate that CMMU poses a significant challenge to the recent MLLMs. The data and code are available at https://github.com/FlagOpen/CMMU.

    cs.CL 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Current VLMs score well on Chinese-art recognition QA but collapse on style-to-period inference, expert-style long-form appreciation, and authenticity discrimination under visual confounds.

  2. SciExplore: Evaluating Autonomous Agents from Scientific Navigation to Information Integration

    cs.AI 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A 103-task expert-curated benchmark shows that current LLMs and agents handle simple scientific lookup but mostly fail at ambiguous retrieval, citation grounding, and structured cross-source synthesis.

    cs.AI 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new Chinese K-12 multimodal benchmark with 33,660 questions, an 840K process-evaluation dataset, and a fine-tuned step-level evaluator shows current MLLMs solve under 60% of questions and make frequent reasoning errors.

  5. AutoJudger: An Agent-Driven Framework for Efficient Benchmarking of MLLMs

    cs.CL 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An agent-driven framework adaptively selects a small subset of benchmark questions for MLLMs, preserving over 90% ranking accuracy with roughly 4-5% of the data.

  6. EduFlow: Advancing MLLMs' Problem-Solving Proficiency through Multi-Stage, Multi-Perspective Critique

    cs.AI 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A multi-stage framework (data filtering, MCTS-guided trajectory construction, PRM-based reranking) improves Qwen MLLMs' accuracy on K-12 multimodal science benchmarks.

  7. Argus Inspection: Do Multimodal Large Language Models Possess the Eye of Panoptes?

    cs.CV 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A new 1,430-item multimodal benchmark shows that leading multimodal LLMs rarely notice small visual traps needed for commonsense safety reasoning, with top scores near 0.46 on a scale whose maximum is about 0.97.
