New VideoMemBench benchmark reveals MLLMs struggle with in-context video memory

A new benchmark called VideoMemBench has been developed to evaluate the in-context video memory of multimodal large language models (MLLMs). This benchmark assesses the models' ability to recall information from earlier parts of a video conversation, both visual content and their own previous statements. Current MLLMs show significant performance gaps in this area, with even top-performing models like Claude Opus-5 scoring only 45.7% on the benchmark, indicating a substantial challenge in developing robust video memory capabilities. AI

IMPACT Highlights a critical gap in MLLM capabilities, potentially guiding future research towards models with better long-term memory for video understanding.
