The benchmark is far from saturated: no model evaluated in the paper exceeds 27.6% exact-match accuracy. On a 104-video subset, human participants reach 90.8%, against 26.9% for the best models on the same videos.

## Usage

Load the dataset in Python with the [`datasets`](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets) library, or download the video files with the Hugging Face command-line tool [`hf`](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/guides/cli). The dataset is public: no account is needed.
|
| 89 |
+
|
| 90 |
```python
|
| 91 |
+
# pip install datasets
|
| 92 |
+
from datasets import load_dataset, Video
|
| 93 |
|
| 94 |
+
# Downloads the full dataset (139 GB) on first call
|
| 95 |
ds = load_dataset("countvideobench/CountVideoBench", "single_class", split="test")
|
| 96 |
+
|
| 97 |
+
# Keep file paths instead of decoded videos, to sample frames your own way
|
| 98 |
+
ds = ds.cast_column("video", Video(decode=False))
|
| 99 |
+
|
| 100 |
+
sample = ds[0]
|
| 101 |
+
print(sample["question"], sample["count"], sample["video"]["path"])
|
| 102 |
```
|
| 103 |
|
| 104 |
+
Without the `cast_column` line, accessing a row decodes its video, which requires [`torchcodec`](https://github.com/meta-pytorch/torchcodec) and FFmpeg.
