Introduction
We introduce MLVU: the first comprehensive benchmark designed for evaluating Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) in Long Video Understanding (LVU) tasks. MLVU is constructed from a wide variety of long videos, with lengths ranging from 3 minutes to 2 hours, and includes nine distinct evaluation tasks. These tasks challenge MLLMs to handle different types of tasks, leveraging both global and local information from videos.
Our evaluation of 20 popular MLLMs, including GPT-4o, reveals significant challenges in LVU, with even the top-performing GPT-4o only achieving an average score of 64.6% in multi-choice tasks. In addition, our empirical results underscore the need for improvements in context length, image understanding, and strong LLM-backbones. We anticipate that MLVU will serve as a catalyst for the community to further advance MLLMs' capabilities in understanding long videos.

MLVU Benchmark
Before you access our dataset, we kindly ask you to thoroughly read and understand the license outlined above. If you cannot agree to these terms, we request that you refrain from downloading our video data.
The annotation file is readily accessible here. For the raw videos, you can access them via this 🤗 HF Link.
MLVU encompasses nine distinct tasks, which include multiple-choice tasks as well as free-form generation tasks. These tasks are specifically tailored for long-form video understanding, and are classified into three categories: holistic understanding, single detail understanding, and multi-detail understanding. Examples of the tasks are displayed below.
Evaluation
Please refer to our evaluation and evaluation_test folder for more details.
Hosting and Maintenance
The annotation files will be permanently retained.
If some videos are requested to be removed, we will replace them with a set of video frames sparsely sampled from the video and adjusted in resolution. Since all the questions in MLVU are only related to visual content and do not involve audio, this will not significantly affect the validity of MLVU (most existing MLLMs also understand videos by frame extraction).
If even retaining the frame set is not allowed, we will still keep the relevant annotation files, and replace them with the meta-information of the video, or actively seek more reliable and risk-free video sources.
