Image generators fabricate what they don't know. This one looks it up first—and knows when not to.
AgentGen-Bench
This dataset contains the standalone AgentGen benchmark prompts and reference metadata.
Dataset Statistics
| Statistic | Count |
|---|---|
| Benchmark prompts | 751 |
| Visual reference images | 1,099 |
Official Evaluation Subsets
AgentGen-Bench includes three official compact-evaluation labels:
testmini,testmini_easy, andtestmini_hard.
| Subset label | Rows | Intended track |
|---|---|---|
testmini |
200 | Compact evaluation |
testmini_easy |
100 | Compact easy track |
testmini_hard |
100 | Compact hard track |
Each row stores its memberships in the subset array. The labels are
independent membership tags, so do not infer one label from another. Rows that
do not belong to these subsets have "subset": [].
The published Test-mini result uses exactly the 200 rows carrying the
testmini label. It is a fixed benchmark slice, not a fresh or random sample
from the 751-row Full benchmark.
Example with Hugging Face Datasets:
from datasets import load_dataset
benchmark = load_dataset("JasperHaozhe/AgentGen-Bench", split="test")
testmini = benchmark.filter(lambda row: "testmini" in row["subset"])
testmini_easy = benchmark.filter(lambda row: "testmini_easy" in row["subset"])
testmini_hard = benchmark.filter(lambda row: "testmini_hard" in row["subset"])
assert len(testmini) == 200
Benchmark Results
Scores are on a 0–100 scale. Each table reports Overall9 for the same 18
generators. Coverage is scored prompts / slice prompts, with missing
evaluator scores excluded from aggregation.

Mini-easy and Mini-hard leaderboards (100 prompts each)
testmini_easy and testmini_hard are independent official label slices;
they are not necessarily a partition of the 200-prompt testmini slice.

Purpose
Use this section to evaluate image generation systems on prompts with explicit visual references, text knowledge slots, verification checklists, and rubrics. It is separate from the 20K training metadata and is intended for evaluation.
Main Files
eval_metadata.jsonl: benchmark prompt metadata.benchmark_manifest.json: benchmark counts, schema fields, and reference-image policy.eval_query_coverage.jsonl: coverage map from benchmark reference slots tosearchgen-corpus-1mqueries.
Schema
Each eval_metadata.jsonl row contains:
bench_idsubsetuser_promptlanguagegeneration_task_typefailure_modesdomainsverification_checklistevaluation_rubrictext_knowledge_slotsvisual_reference_slots
visual_reference_slots[].relative_path points to the benchmark-local reference image path. It is relative to data_release/searchgen-bench/. After repairing source eval-dataset reference paths, all 1,099 benchmark reference-image targets are materialized. The benchmark-only copy audit is ../../validation_logs/payload_copy_benchmark_reference_after_fix.tsv; the current missing-image worklist ../../validation_logs/missing_benchmark_reference_images.tsv is empty.
Expected final image layout:
data_release/searchgen-bench/reference_images/{bench_id}/ref_00.jpg
Cross-References
eval_query_coverage.jsonl links benchmark reference slots to ../searchgen-corpus-1m/database/search.sqlite through query_id when a matching search corpus query exists.
The training dataset is separate and documented in ../searchgen-20k/README.md.
Minimal load check:
python3 - <<'PY'
import json
rows=[json.loads(x) for x in open('data_release/searchgen-bench/eval_metadata.jsonl')]
print(len(rows), rows[0]['bench_id'])
