Gemini-3.1-Pro-Preview leads audio classification benchmark, outperforming competitors

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new benchmark evaluates eleven audio classification methods, including several Gemini models and Kimi-Audio-7B-Instruct, on a sound source identification task. The best performing model, Gemini-3.1-Pro-Preview, achieved an 85.6% category-level F1 score and a 56.7% fine-grained F1 score. The study also found that Gemini models often provide confident but incorrect answers and that response length does not correlate with accuracy. AI

IMPACT Sets a new benchmark for audio-language model performance, highlighting Gemini's capabilities and informing future model development.

    Can Foundation Models Hear What Made That Sound? A Tiered Benchmark of Audio-Language Models and Traditional Classifiers for Closed-Set Sound Source Identification

    We benchmark eleven audio classification methods: five task-aware closed-set LLMs (four Gemini models plus open-weight Kimi-Audio-7B-Instruct), four fixed-vocabulary taggers (YAMNet, PANNs, Whisper-AT, and SSLAM), a zero-shot audio-text model (CLAP), and an audio-grounded LLM (BA…
