New benchmark LongShOTBench tests omni-modal reasoning in long videos

Researchers have introduced LongShOTBench, a new benchmark designed to evaluate omni-modal reasoning capabilities in long videos. This benchmark integrates vision, speech, and ambient audio, offering detailed rubrics for diagnostic evaluation. Alongside the benchmark, they developed LongShOTAgent, a training-free agent that demonstrates strong performance on the new testbed, outperforming current multi-modal large language models. AI

    A Benchmark for Omni-Modal Reasoning in Long Videos

    arXiv:2512.16978v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Long-form omni-modal video understanding requires integrating vision, speech, and ambient audio with coherent long-context reasoning. Existing video benchmarks often trade off temporal scale, modality coverage, open-ended intera…
