OmniMMI

Seed1.8 53% Fading

Omni models answer 2,290 questions on 1,121 streaming videos, including proactive tasks where they must decide when to respond.

Published at CVPR 2025. Seed1.8 evaluates it in a proactive manner.

In the authors’ words

The rapid advancement of multi-modal language models (MLLMs) like GPT-4o has propelled the development of Omni language models, designed to process and proactively respond to continuous streams of multi-modal data. Despite their potential, evaluating their real-world interactive capabilities in streaming video contexts remains a formidable challenge. In this work, we introduce OmniMMI, a comprehensive multi-modal interaction benchmark tailored for OmniLLMs in streaming video contexts. OmniMMI encompasses over 1,121 videos and 2,290 questions, addressing two critical yet underexplored challenges in existing video benchmarks: streaming video understanding and proactive reasoning, across six distinct subtasks. Moreover, we propose a novel framework, Multi-modal Multiplexing Modeling (M4), designed to enable an inference-efficient streaming model that can see, listen while generating.

Seed1.8 leads with 53%

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.
