Medium GrooveSquid.com (original content) Medium Difficulty Summary
The proposed benchmark evaluates the performance of multimodal large language models on rebus puzzles, requiring image recognition, string manipulation, hypothesis testing, multi-step reasoning, and understanding human cognition. The dataset covers 333 original examples of image-based wordplay, cluing 13 categories such as movies, composers, major cities, and food. GPT-4o significantly outperforms other models, but even the best model has a final accuracy of only 42%, highlighting the need for substantial improvements in reasoning.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
Rebus puzzles are a type of wordplay that uses images to represent words or phrases. Researchers created a new benchmark to test how well language models can solve these puzzles. They made a dataset with 333 examples and found that some models were really good at solving them, but not perfect. Even the best model only got 42% correct, which means there’s still room for improvement.
