Qwen3.5-Omni-Plus 85.4% leads since Mar 2026 Fading

Models answer multiple-choice questions on six spatial relations between objects in egocentric embodied scenes. Scored by accuracy.

In the authors’ words

The recent rapid development of Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) has indicated their potential for embodied tasks.However, the critical skill of spatial understanding in embodied environments has not been thoroughly evaluated, leaving the gap between current LVLMs and qualified embodied intelligence unknown. Therefore, we construct EmbSpatial-Bench, a benchmark for evaluating embodied spatial understanding of LVLMs.The benchmark is automatically derived from embodied scenes and covers 6 spatial relationships from an egocentric perspective.Experiments expose the insufficient capacity of current LVLMs (even GPT-4V). We further present EmbSpatial-SFT, an instruction-tuning dataset designed to improve LVLMs' embodied spatial understanding.

Qwen3.5-Omni-Plus leads with 85.4% among models released by Jun 2026

Best score per model as labs report them in their own cards. Labs pick their own settings, so these compare less cleanly than independent runs.

The newest model with a score here came out in Jun 2026, and nobody has reported a newer one. Among the 20 highest-ranked models on the capability index, these have no score yet:

3 models have held number one since its release in Jun 2024

Lab claims count from the day the card came out, independent runs from the model’s release.

The best score passed 85% in Mar 2026

All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.
