Video-MME: The First-Ever Comprehensive Evaluation Benchmark of
  Multi-modal LLMs in Video Analysis
In the quest for artificial general intelligence, Multi-modal Large Language
Models (MLLMs) have emerged as a focal point in recent advancements. However,
the predominant focus remains on developing their capabilities in static image
understanding. The potential of MLLMs in processing sequential visual data is
still insufficiently explored, highlighting the absence of a comprehensive,
high-quality assessment of their performance. In this paper, we introduce
Video-MME, the first-ever full-spectrum, Multi-Modal Evaluation benchmark of
MLLMs in Video analysis. Our work distinguishes from existing benchmarks
through four key features: 1) Diversity in video types, spanning 6 primary
visual domains with 30 subfields to ensure broad scenario generalizability; 2)
Duration in temporal dimension, encompassing both short-, medium-, and
long-term videos, ranging from 11 seconds to 1 hour, for robust contextual
dynamics; 3) Breadth in data modalities, integrating multi-modal inputs besides
video frames, including subtitles and audios, to unveil the all-round
capabilities of MLLMs; 4) Quality in annotations, utilizing rigorous manual
labeling by expert annotators to facilitate precise and reliable model
assessment. 900 videos with a total of 256 hours are manually selected and
annotated by repeatedly viewing all the video content, resulting in 2,700
question-answer pairs. With Video-MME, we extensively evaluate various
state-of-the-art MLLMs, including GPT-4 series and Gemini 1.5 Pro, as well as
open-source image models like InternVL-Chat-V1.5 and video models like
LLaVA-NeXT-Video. Our experiments reveal that Gemini 1.5 Pro is the
best-performing commercial model, significantly outperforming the open-source
models. Our dataset along with these findings underscores the need for further
improvements in handling longer sequences and multi-modal data. Project Page:
