FIKA-Bench: From Fine-grained Recognition to Fine-Grained Knowledge Acquisition

Claims
Our evaluation of latest Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) and agents reveals that the task remains a formidable challenge: the best system reaches only 25.1% accuracy, with no model exceeding 30%. Crucially, we find that merely equipping models with tools is insufficient to bridge this gap; agent failures are predominantly driven by wrong entity retrieval and poor visual judgement.
That the filtering against frontier closed-book models successfully removes all memorized cases and that the 311 instances have no image-answer leakage while remaining representative of real-life fine-grained recognition scenarios.
