Many VLMs claim to process hours of video. But can they follow the story?🤔
Today, we introduce TimeScope: The benchmark that separates true temporal understanding from marketing hype. Let's see how much VLMs really understand!⏳
We test three skills that matter for real-world use:
🔎 Localized Retrieval: Find a specific action.
🧩 Information Synthesis: Piece together scattered clues.
🏃 Fine-Grained Perception: Analyze detailed motion (e.g., count how many times a person swings an axe).
The results are in, and they're revealing. Only Gemini 2.5 pro handles 1-hour-long videos.
Performance drops sharply with duration, proving that long video understanding is still challenging. We've found the breaking points—now the community can start fixing them.📈
Want to learn more? TimeScope is 100% open-source. Benchmark your model and help us build the next generation of video AI.
