• Abstract: Multimodal Large Language models (MLLMs) have shown promise in web-related tasks, but evaluating their performance in the web domain remains a challenge due to the lack of comprehensive benchmarks. Existing benchmarks are either designed for general multimodal tasks, failing to capture the unique characteristics of web pages, or focus on end-to-end web agent tasks, unable to measure fine-grained abilities such as OCR, understanding, and grounding. In this paper, we introduce \bench{}, a multimodal benchmark designed to assess the capabilities of MLLMs across a variety of web tasks. \bench{} consists of seven tasks, and comprises 1.5K human-curated instances from 139 real websites, covering 87 sub-domains. We evaluate 14 open-source MLLMs, Gemini Pro, Claude-3 series, and GPT-4V(ision) on \bench{}, revealing significant challenges and performance gaps. Further analysis highlights the limitations of current MLLMs, including inadequate grounding in text-rich environments and subpar performance with low-resolution image inputs. We believe \bench{} will serve as a valuable resource for the research community and contribute to the creation of more powerful and versatile MLLMs for web-related applications.

  Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown impressive success across modalities such as image, video, and audio. Current MLLMs are surprisingly poor at understanding webpage screenshots and generating their corresponding HTML code. We propose a benchmark consisting of a new large-scale webpage-to-code dataset for instruction tuning.

  We introduce MileBench, a benchmark designed to test the MultImodal Long-contExt capabilities of MLLMs. We systematically assess MLLMs' long-context adaptation capacity and their ability to complete tasks in long-context scenarios. Results show that while the closed-source GPT-4o outperforms others, most open-source MLLMs struggle in long-context situations.
