T2I-CoReBench-Images is the companion image dataset of T2I-CoReBench. It contains images generated using 1,080 challenging prompts, covering both composition and reasoning scenarios undere real-world complexities.
This dataset is designed to evaluate how well current Text-to-Image (T2I) models can not only paint (produce visually consistent outputs) but also think (perform reasoning over causal chains, object relations, and logical consistency).

| Autogressive Models | Infinity-8B and GoT-R1-7B |
| Unified Models | BAGEL, BAGEL w/ Think, show-o2-1.5B, show-o2-7B, Janus-Pro-1B, Janus-Pro-7B, BLIP3o-4B, BLIP3o-8B, OmniGen2-7B |
| Closed-Source Models | Seedream 3.0, Seedream 4.0, Seedream 4.5, Gemini 2.0 Flash, Nano Banana, Nano Banana Pro, Imagen 4, Imagen 4 Ultra, GPT-Image (GPT-4o), GPT-Image-1.5 |
