TACoS

Dropped

Models find the time span in a cooking video that matches a sentence. Labs score temporal grounding by mean IoU with the annotated span.

The corpus came from a GCPR 2014 paper on multi-sentence video description. Later work reused it for temporal grounding. The month is the GCPR conference month.

Seed1.5-VL leads with 49.6%

Best score per model as labs report them in their own cards. Labs pick their own settings, so these compare less cleanly than independent runs.

One system card reports it

Besides launch posts, we read the system cards, model cards and technical reports labs publish with a release. They report far more, including safety and frontier-risk tests.
