SWE-bench Multimodal
A 517-issue extension of SWE-bench for visual software repositories. Tasks require resolving real GitHub issues where screenshots, plots, diagrams, or other visual evidence are part of the software-engineering context; model scores must preserve the evaluator and harness. High benchmark score alone doesn't make a model the right pick — weigh it against pricing, API availability, and release date.

How to read this benchmark
This benchmark scores models where higher is better. Scores are useful for directional filtering and shortlisting — not for universal quality ranking. Prefer benchmarks closest to your workload, then validate the linked model pages for pricing, context window, and provider availability.
Trust this score when
- There is a fresh timestamped snapshot (or multiple snapshots) for this benchmark.
- The model list covers the same version family you can actually deploy today.
- Top candidates overlap with your required routing and feature requirements.
Be cautious when
- There is only one benchmark snapshot or the dataset appears stale.
- The benchmark metric direction is opposite of your decision objective.
- The score difference between options is narrow and likely within implementation variance.
FAQ
What does the SWE-bench Multimodal benchmark measure?
A 517-issue extension of SWE-bench for visual software repositories. Tasks require resolving real GitHub issues where screenshots, plots, diagrams, or other visual evidence are part of the software-engineering context; model scores must preserve the evaluator and harness. On this page it lists 1 tracked model variant where higher is better.
Is a higher SWE-bench Multimodal score always better?
For this benchmark, higher is better. A high score helps you shortlist, but confirm pricing, context window, and provider availability on each model page before committing — the top scorer is not always the right pick for your workload or budget.
