Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) are capable of handling diverse data types such as imaging, text, and physiological signals, and can be applied in various fields. In the medical field, LVLMs have a high potential to offer substantial assistance for diagnosis and treatment. Before that, it is crucial to develop benchmarks to evaluate LVLMs' effectiveness in various medical applications. Current benchmarks are often built upon specific academic literature, mainly focusing on a single domain, and lacking varying perceptual granularities. Thus, they face specific challenges, including limited clinical relevance, incomplete evaluations, and insufficient guidance for interactive LVLMs. To address these limitations, we developed the GMAI-MMBench, the most comprehensive general medical AI benchmark with well-categorized data structure and multi-perceptual granularity to date. It is constructed from 284 datasets across 38 medical image modalities, 18 clinical-related tasks, 18 departments, and 4 perceptual granularities in a Visual Question Answering (VQA) format. Additionally, we implemented a lexical tree structure that allows users to customize evaluation tasks, accommodating various assessment needs and substantially supporting medical AI research and applications. We evaluated 50 LVLMs, and the results show that even the advanced GPT-4o only achieves an accuracy of 53.96%, indicating significant room for improvement. Moreover, we identified five key insufficiencies in current cutting-edge LVLMs that need to be addressed to advance the development of better medical applications. We believe that GMAI-MMBench will stimulate the community to build the next generation of LVLMs toward GMAI.

  1. MMBU: A Massive Multi-modal Biomedical Understanding Benchmark to Probe the Perception Capabilities of Vision-Language Models

    cs.CV 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Introduces MMBU benchmark for VLMs in biomedicine and demonstrates that established benchmarks mask perception deficiencies in evaluated models.

  2. CXR-ContraBench: Benchmarking Negated-Option Attraction in Medical VLMs

    cs.CV 2026-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Medical VLMs frequently select negated options that contradict visible chest X-ray findings, achieving only ~30% accuracy on direct presence probes, but a post-hoc consistency verifier raises accuracy above 95%.

  3. MedRealMM: A Real-World Multimodal Benchmark for Chinese Online Medical Consultation

    cs.AI 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    A real multimodal Chinese online-consultation benchmark of 5,620 cases finds frontier LLMs below physicians, with safety-sensitive error avoidance as the main gap.

  4. MedRealMM: A Real-World Multimodal Benchmark for Chinese Online Medical Consultation

    cs.AI 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    On a new benchmark of 5,620 real multimodal online consultations, top LLMs trail the original physicians mainly because they trigger more unsafe or unsupported negative criteria.

  5. Marking the Wrong Symptoms: Evaluating LLM Watermarks in Medical Texts

    cs.AI 2026-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Watermarking medical AI outputs can degrade reasoning, terminology, and image interpretation even when benchmark accuracy stays stable, so accuracy-only evaluations hide clinically important damage.

  6. AMVICC: A Novel Benchmark for Cross-Modal Failure Mode Profiling for VLMs and IGMs

    cs.CV 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A cross-modal benchmark derived from MMVP shows VLMs and IGMs share several elementary visual-reasoning failure modes, with IGMs struggling most on explicit attribute-control prompts.

  7. Objective-Aligned Direct Answer SFT for Robust Multi-Frame Medical VQA

    cs.CV 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Direct answer-only supervised fine-tuning is the most robust adaptation family on MedFrameQA, beating frozen baselines by ~6 points and outperforming complex variants on seed stability.
