MMMU
1 phaseActive
Massive Multi-discipline Multimodal Understanding and Reasoning benchmark — 11.5K college-level exam, quiz, and textbook questions across 30 subjects. Metric: accuracy.
Overview
MMMU
Quick answer: MMMU (Massive Multi-discipline Multimodal Understanding and Reasoning) is a benchmark of 11.5K college-level exam, quiz, and textbook questions spanning six core disciplines and 183 subfields, designed to test multimodal models on expert-level knowledge and deliberate reasoning. Qwen3.6 Plus leads with 86.0% across 63 evaluated models.
What Does MMMU Test?
MMMU evaluates multimodal AI models on college-level subject knowledge that requires interpreting diagrams, charts, medical images, and other visual content alongside text. Questions span Art & Design, Business, Science, Health & Medicine, Humanities & Social Science, and Tech & Engineering — demanding expert-level reasoning rather than simple visual recognition.
| Focus area | Examples |
|---|---|
| Science & engineering | Diagram interpretation, technical schematics, physics/chemistry problems |
| Health & medicine | Medical imaging, anatomical diagrams, clinical reasoning |
| Business & humanities | Charts, tables, historical images, document analysis |
| Cross-modal reasoning | Combining visual and textual information for expert-level answers |
How Is MMMU Scored?
Questions are drawn from real college exams, quizzes, and textbooks, formatted as multiple-choice or open-ended with verifiable answers. Accuracy is the fraction of questions answered correctly, normalized to 0–1, across 30 subjects and 183 subfields.
