Introduction

We introduce BLINK, a new benchmark for multimodal language models (LLMs) that focuses on core visual perception abilities not found in other evaluations. Most of the BLINK tasks can be solved by humans “within a blink” (e.g., relative depth estimation, visual correspondence, forensics detection, and multi-view reasoning). However, we find these perception-demanding tasks cast significant challenges for current multimodal LLMs because they resist mediation through natural language. BLINK reformats 14 classic computer vision tasks into 3,807 multiple-choice questions, paired with single or multiple images and visual prompting. While humans get 95.70% accuracy on average, BLINK is surprisingly challenging for existing multimodal LLMs: even the best-performing GPT-4V and Gemini achieve accuracies of 51.26% and 45.72%, only 13.17% and 7.63% higher than random guessing, indicating that such perception abilities have not “emerged” yet in recent multimodal LLMs. Our analysis also highlights that specialist CV models could solve these problems much better, suggesting potential pathways for future improvements. We believe BLINK will stimulate the community to help multimodal LLMs catch up with human-level visual perception.

Dataset Creation

BLINK is created to challenge multimodal models on hollistic visual perception abilities with tasks inherited from classic computer vision problems, stimulating future development of multimodal LLMs that achieve human-level visual perception. Please refer to our huggingface 🤗 Dataset for more details. Unique Features of BLINK includes diverse visual prompting, beyond recognition perception, and visual commonsense.

🎯 We have released a full suite comprising 1,901 validation samples, the prompt we used, and model predictions for the baselines tested in our paper. However, the 1,907 test questions are available without their answers. You can submit your model's predictions for the test set on EvalAI.

Disclaimers

Blink makes use of data from existing image datasets, and does not cover all the visual perception abilities in the wild. For the forensics detection task, we manually collected images that are publicly available from online search.
