VLMEvalKit (the python package name is vlmeval) is an open-source evaluation toolkit of large vision-language models (LVLMs). It enables one-command evaluation of LVLMs on various benchmarks, without the heavy workload of data preparation under multiple repositories. In VLMEvalKit, we adopt generation-based evaluation for all LVLMs, and provide the evaluation results obtained with both exact matching and LLM-based answer extraction.
VLMEVALKIT_USE_MODELSCOPE. By setting this environment variable, you can download the video benchmarks supported from modelscope python run.py --help for more details See [QuickStart | 快速开始] for a quick start guide.
The performance numbers on our official multi-modal leaderboards can be downloaded from here!

* We only provide a subset of the evaluation results, since some VLMs do not yield reasonable results under the zero-shot setting
+ The evaluation results are not available yet
- Only inference is supported in VLMEvalKit (That includes the TEST splits of some benchmarks that do not include the ground truth answers).
VLMEvalKit will use a judge LLM to extract answer from the output if you set the key, otherwise it uses the exact matching mode (find "Yes", "No", "A", "B", "C"... in the output strings). The exact matching can only be applied to the Yes-or-No tasks and the Multi-choice tasks.

# Demo
from vlmeval.config import supported_VLM
model = supported_VLM['idefics_9b_instruct']()
# Forward Single Image
ret = model.generate(['assets/apple.jpg', 'What is in this image?'])
print(ret) # The image features a red apple with a leaf on it.
# Forward Multiple Images
ret = model.generate(['assets/apple.jpg', 'assets/apple.jpg', 'How many apples are there in the provided images? '])
print(ret) # There are two apples in the provided images.To develop custom benchmarks, VLMs, or simply contribute other codes to VLMEvalKit, please refer to [Development_Guide | 开发指南].
