TACoS
Models find the time span in a cooking video that matches a sentence. Labs score temporal grounding by mean IoU with the annotated span.
The corpus came from a GCPR 2014 paper on multi-sentence video description. Later work reused it for temporal grounding. The month is the GCPR conference month.

Scores over time
All the scores we have, one dot each, so a model tested at several settings appears more than once.
No launch post has listed it since May 2025
Launch posts from every lab that has listed it, one tick per post. Tall colored ticks include it, and short gray ones leave it out.

One system card reports it
Besides launch posts, we read the system cards, model cards and technical reports labs publish with a release. They report far more, including safety and frontier-risk tests.
