MVBench: A Comprehensive Multi-modal Video Understanding Benchmark
Open accessAbstract
With the rapid development of Multi-modal Large language Models (MLLMs), a number of diagnostic bench-marks have recently emerged to evaluate the comprehension capabilities of these models. However, most bench-marks predominantly assess spatial understanding in the static image tasks, while overlooking temporal understanding in the dynamic video tasks. To alleviate this issue, we introduce a comprehensive Multi-modal Video understanding Benchmark, namely MVBench, which covers 20 chal-lenging video tasks that cannot be effectively solved with a single frame. Specifically, we first introduce a novel static-to-dynamic method to define these temporal-related tasks. By transforming various static tasks into dynamic ones, we enable the systematic generation of video tasks that require a broad spectrum of temporal skills, ranging from perception to cognition. Then, guided by the task definition, we au-tomatically convert public video annotations into multiple-choice QA to evaluate each task. On one hand, such a distinct paradigm allows us to build MVBench efficiently, without much manual intervention. On the other hand, it guarantees evaluation fairness with ground-truth video an-notations, avoiding the biased scoring of LLMs. More-over, we further develop a robust video MLLM baseline, i.e., VideoChat2, by progressive multi-modal training with di-verse instruction-tuning data. The extensive results on our MVBench reveal that, the existing MLLMs are far from sat-isfactory in temporal understanding, while our VideoChat2 largely surpasses these leading models by over 15% on MVBench. All models and data are available at https://github.com/OpenGVLab/Ask-Anything.

Most prior works focus on content-level understanding, which primarily serves as a temporal extension of 2D image understanding without 3D spatial consideration.
“Despite their significance, most prior works focus on content-level understanding [24, 43, 55, 63], which primarily serves as a temporal extension of 2D image understanding without 3D spatial consideration.”
From Thinking in Space: How Multimodal Large Language Models See, Remember, and Recall Spaces (2025) · cites this paper as [43]
The paper’s introductory discussion says most existing MLLM benchmarks emphasize static-image understanding and that some video benchmarks cover only basic temporal tasks. Section 3.1 describes extending image tasks with video context. It does not characterize most prior works as content-level temporal extensions of 2D understanding or say they omit 3D spatial considerations. (LLM, conf=0.78)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
