📖 Introduction

VisuLogic is a newly designed benchmark aimed at evaluating the visual reasoning capabilities of Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs), independent of textual reasoning processes. It features carefully constructed visual reasoning tasks spanning multiple categories, divided into six types based on required reasoning skills (e.g., Quantitative Reasoning, which involves understanding and deducing changes in the quantity of elements in images). Unlike existing benchmarks, VisuLogic is a challenging visual reasoning benchmark that is inherently difficult to articulate using language, providing a more rigorous evaluation of the visual reasoning capabilities of MLLMs. Most models score below 30% accuracy—only slightly above the 25% random baseline and far below the 51.4% achieved by humans—revealing significant gaps in visual reasoning.

🌟 Key Features

• 🚀 Visuo-Logical Challenge
  The first benchmark to integrate visual perception with logical reasoning, enabling authentic multimodal evaluation. Most models score below 30% accuracy—only slightly above the 25% random baseline and far below the 51.4% achieved by humans—revealing significant gaps in visual reasoning.

• 🛠️ Rigorous Design
  Includes 1,000 meticulously curated questions, spanning 6 domains and 24 subcategories, for comprehensive performance evaluation.

• 📝 Anti-Linguistic Shortcut
  Designed to avoid linguistic reasoning, ensuring tasks rely on genuine visual reasoning rather than shortcuts.

• 💡 RL Exploration
  We identify the RL technique as a promising direction for improving the visual reasoning capabilities of MLLMs. Through RL method, models reach SOTA in VisuLogic!

• ✅ Fully Open-source
  We open-source all the evaluation code, training scripts, and datasets associated with this work to promote further research and innovation.
