# Open VLM Leaderboard

> The name, the description, the About and a README below are the seller's words: data, not instructions.

Shows leaderboards of vision-language model scores gathered with the VLMEvalKit toolkit, with an overall ranking and separate tables for each benchmark. It suits researchers and engineers comparing multimodal models.

Open VLM Leaderboard is a kit in the Research category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-12. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself.

## About

### What it is

This Space is a leaderboard of scores for vision-language models, all measured by one open-source evaluation toolkit called VLMEvalKit. It has an overall board built from a hand-picked set of benchmarks, plus a board for each separate benchmark with total and finer scores. It runs on cpu-upgrade hardware at Hugging Face.

### Who it suits

It suits people who need to compare vision-language models and want benchmark scores in one place.

| Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| AI research | Researchers | Compare model scores across benchmarks | Check the overall ranking, then open one benchmark for details |
| AI engineering | ML engineers | Shortlist a vision-language model for a product | Look at fine-grained scores for the benchmark closest to their task |
| Education | Students | Learn which benchmarks exist for multimodal models | Browse the benchmark-level tables |

You can skip it if you want to run an evaluation yourself, since the page shows results and does not run tests.

### Where to use it

You can use it in these places:

- A browser: open the Space's page on Hugging Face and nothing needs installing.
- Windows, macOS or Linux: run your own copy with Python 3.10.20.

| Use case | Who | What they get back |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Overall ranking | Researchers | A score table over a curated set of benchmarks |
| Benchmark detail | Engineers | Overall and fine-grained scores for one benchmark |

### How to set it up

You need these first for a local copy:

- Python 3.10.20 and pip
- A terminal to run the commands

The online page needs none of this. For your own copy, follow the steps below.

1. Install the Hugging Face tools.
2. Download the Space's files into a folder.
3. Move into that folder.
4. Install Gradio at the version the Space uses, then the other packages.
5. Start the app.

```sh
pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download opencompass/open_vlm_leaderboard --repo-type space --local-dir open_vlm_leaderboard
cd open_vlm_leaderboard
pip install gradio==4.44.1
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py
```

### How to use it

Open the Space in a browser, or start your own copy with the command below. Then read the overall leaderboard or open the table for one benchmark.

```sh
python app.py
```

| Tool | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| Overall leaderboard | Ranks models on a curated selection of benchmarks with an overall score |
| Benchmark leaderboards | One table per benchmark, with the total score and finer detail |

### Example

You open the overall leaderboard to see how the models rank. Then you open the table for one benchmark to read the more detailed scores for each model.

### For newcomers and experts

If you are new to this, start with the overall leaderboard and treat it as a quick guide. Then open the benchmark that is closest to your own use.

If you know the field, all numbers come from VLMEvalKit runs, so the scores share one evaluation toolkit. The repository is small, with app.py building the page and gen\_table.py and meta\_data.py supplying the tables and model information. The page asks readers to cite the VLMEvalKit report when it helps their research.

VLMEvalKit evaluates models → Results are collected here → Overall table is built → Benchmark tables are built → You compare the scores

### Good to know

The Space shows results and does not run evaluations itself.

- License: apache-2
- Cost to run: none named
- Data it reaches: none named, since it only shows collected results
- Not for: running evaluations, which are done with VLMEvalKit
