What is CapRiCorn-1K?

Accurate and comprehensive video captions with consistent subject references are critical for downstream understanding and generation tasks. However, few existing benchmarks can objectively and comprehensively evaluate these properties across diverse durations and scenarios, thereby hindering the advancement of video captioning models. To bridge this gap, we propose CapRiCorn-1K, a comprehensive benchmark designed to evaluate both video captioning quality and subject referential consistency across long temporal horizons and diverse video domains. To accommodate varied evaluation needs, our benchmark supports both audiovisual and visual-only settings. Extensive experiments on CapRiCorn-1K reveal that current models generally struggle to generate accurate and comprehensive captions while maintaining consistent subject references. Moreover, as video duration increases, both the overall caption quality and subject referential consistency decline. Notably, our evaluation metrics exhibit strong correlations with the performance of downstream understanding and generation tasks conditioned on the generated captions, further validating their effectiveness. The project is available at https://github.com/xlchen0205/CapRiCorn-1K .

Tier C

C

Niche: a handful of models scored, or built by an RL vendor.

How much stands behind a tier: usage, who backs it, a confirmed line from its own site or paper, and a clear read on X. High with three of the four, medium with two, low otherwise.

  • 13 models scored

How we got to tier C
  1. Adoption: 13 models scored. Tier C.
  2. Not yet read on X.
  3. In curated RL directories: 1 point, a floor of none.
  4. Not yet confirmed by a line from its own site or paper.

A clear view on X moves a tier one step up or down; most entries don't move. How tiers work.

Not on the map yet: no line from its own site or paper places it in a domain.
