# External benchmark adapters

The repository does not redistribute third-party benchmark images, metadata,
or evaluation implementations. Pin an upstream commit for every reported
result and record that commit in the release notes.

## MME-CoF

`scripts/eval_mme_cof.sh` implements the five-aspect VLM evaluation used by
the current experiment code. It requires a JSON array whose records contain
at least `id`, `user_prompt`, and `task_name`.

Before release, reconcile the local experiment metadata with the paper:

- paper description: 59 samples;
- current local `samples_origin.json`: 55 samples.

Do not label either version canonical until this difference is resolved.

## RULER-Bench

`scripts/eval_ruler_bench.sh` prepares one directory per seed and task. It
does not run or vendor the upstream evaluator. After preparation, invoke the
pinned upstream evaluator according to that repository's documented input
contract.

Using separate seed directories prevents the previous adapter from silently
overwriting multiple seeds with the same target filename.

## V-ReasonBench

`scripts/eval_v_reasonbench.sh` converts generated video names to the format
consumed by the upstream evaluator. It does not vendor the upstream code.

Before release, reconcile the local experiment metadata with the paper:

- paper description: 327 samples across 12 categories;
- current local metadata: 328 samples across 13 categories.

The old local evaluator also ran only `block_slide`; it must not be presented
as a complete V-ReasonBench evaluation.
