Evaluating Multimodal Vision Models with Moonshot PerceptionBench Using Robust Data Loading and Automated Judging

In this tutorial, we design an end-to-end evaluation workflow for PerceptionBench. This multimodal benchmark measures fine-grained visual perception capabilities across tasks such as OCR, counting, localization, contextual reasoning, comparison, depth understanding, and hallucination detection. We begin by configuring a Colab-compatible environment, installing the required libraries, and loading a balanced subset of the dataset through a
