## 📢 News
- 🚀 [10/28/2025] We have released the STAR-Bench 🏠[repository](https://github.com/InternLM/StarBench) and 🌐[homepage](https://internlm.github.io/StarBench/).
- 🚀 [10/28/2025] STAR-Bench v1.0 is now available on 🤗[HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co/datasets/internlm/STAR-Bench)!
    
    Compared with v0.5 (introduced in our arXiv paper), v1.0 features revised and refined Questions & Answers for improved clarity and quality for spatial tasks. 
    📌 Please cite this version (v1.0) when reporting results going forward.
    The leaderboard will be updated soon.

## 🌈Overview

We formalize audio 4D intelligence that is defined as reasoning over sound dynamics in time and 3D space, and introduce a STAR-Bench to measure it. STAR-Bench combines a Foundational Acoustic Perceptionsetting (six attributes under absolute and relative regimes) with a Holistic Spatio-Temporal Reasoning setting that includes segment reordering for continuous and discrete processes and spatial tasks spanning static localization, multi-source relations, and dynamic trajectories.

Unlike prior benchmarks where caption-only answering reduces accuracy slightly, STAR-Bench induces far larger drops (-31.5\% temporal, -35.2\% spatial), evidencing its focus on linguistically hard-to-describe cues. 
Evaluating 19 models reveals substantial gaps to humans and a capability hierarchy. Our STAR-Bench provides critical insights and a clear path forward for developing future models with a more robust understanding of the physical world.

Benchmark examples are illustrated below. You can also visit the 🌐[homepage](https://internlm.github.io/StarBench/) for a more intuitive overview.

## 📊Results and Analysis
Evaluation results of various models on STAR-Bench v0.5 are shown below.
The leaderboard for v1.0 will be released soon.

## 💡 Key Insights
- 🔥**A clear capability hierarchy between the two groups.** Closed-source models are bottlenecked by fine-grained perception, while open-source models lag across perception, knowledge, and reasoning. 
- 🔥 **Enhancing dense audio captioning.** Open-source models struggle to produce dense, fine-grained captions, which limits their perceptual sensitivity and ability to extract embedded knowledge. Bridging this gap is a crucial first step. 
- 🔥 **Improving multi-audio reasoning.** Open-source models lag significantly in comparing, integrating, and grounding information across multiple audio clips. 
- 🔥 **Moving beyond channel-averaged audio preprocessing.** The common practice of averaging multi-channel audio into a mono signal is a major bottleneck for spatial reasoning. Developing architectures that natively process multi-channel cues is essential for unlocking genuine spatial awareness.

## ⚙️Data Curation

<img src="assets/data_dist.png" alt="" width="90%"> 

 All audio for the foundational perception task is synthesized using precise parameterization or the Pyroomacoustics physics-based simulator, providing complete control over acoustic parameters. Domain experts rigorously validate the task difficulty
levels, which are then calibrated through human testing.
For the holistic spatio-temporal reasoning task, the curation process comprises four key stages, including human annotation and final selection based on human performance, as illustrated below.

## 🛠️ Test Your Model!
The `ALMEval_code/` is partially adapted from [VLMEvalKit](https://github.com/open-compass/VLMEvalKit) and [Kimi-Audio-Evalkit](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/Kimi-Audio-Evalkit).  
It provides a unified evaluation pipeline for multimodal large models on **STAR-Bench**.

**Step 1: Prepare Environment**

```bash
git clone https://github.com/InternLM/StarBench.git
cd StarBench
conda create -n starbench python==3.10.0
conda activate starbench

# Install PyTorch (choose the correct CUDA version for your system)
pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu126
pip install transformers==4.57.1
pip install accelerate
#NOTE! For more packages, see requirements.txt!!!
pip install -r requirements.txt
# (Optional) Install Flash-Attention for faster inference
pip install flash-attn --no-build-isolation
cd ALMEval_code
```

**Step 2: Get STAR-Bench v1.0 Dataset**

Download STAR-Bench v1.0 dataset from 🤗[HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co/datasets/internlm/STAR-Bench)
```bash
huggingface-cli download --repo-type dataset --resume-download internlm/STAR-Bench --local-dir your_local_data_dir

```

**Step 3: Set Up Your Model for Evaluation**

Currently supported models include: `Qwen2.5-Omni`, `Qwen2-Audio-Instruct`, `DeSTA2.5-Audio`, `Phi4-MM`, `Kimi-Audio`, `MiDashengLM`, `Step-Audio-2-mini`, `Gemma-3n-E4B-it`, `Gemini` and `GPT-4o Audio`.

To integrate a new model, create a new file `yourmodel.py` under the `models/` directory and implement the function generate_inner().

✅ Example: generate_inner()
```
def generate_inner(self, msg):
    """
    Args:
        msg: dict, input format as below
    """
    msg = {
        "meta": {
            "id": ...,
            "task": ...,
            "category": ...,
            "sub-category": ...,
            "options": ...,
            "answer": ...,
            "answer_letter": ...,
            "rotate_id": ...,
        },
        "prompts": [
            {"type": "text", "value": "xxxx"},
            {"type": "audio", "value": "audio1.wav"},
            {"type": "text", "value": "xxxx"},
            {"type": "audio", "value": "audio2.wav"},
            ...
        ]
    }
    # Return the model's textual response
    return "your model output here"
```
  
**Step 4: Configure Model Settings**

Modify the configuration file: `/models/model.yaml`.

For existing models, you may need to update parameters such as `model_path` to match your local model weight path.

To add a new model variant, follow these steps:
  1. Create a new top-level key for your alias (e.g., 'my_model_variant:').
  2. Set 'base_model' to the `NAME` attribute of the corresponding Python class.
  3. Add any necessary arguments for the class's `__init__` method under `init_args`.

Example:
```
qwen25-omni:
  base_model: qwen25-omni
  init_args:
    model_path: your_model_weight_path_here
```

**Step 5: Run Evaluation**

Run the following command:

```bash
#Single GPU
python ./run.py \
  --model qwen25-omni \
  --data starbench_default \
  --dataset_root your_local_data_dir  \
  --work-dir ./eval_results

#Multi-GPU (Distributed)
torchrun --nproc-per-node=8  ./run.py \
  --model qwen25-omni \
  --data starbench_default \
  --dataset_root your_local_data_dir  \
  --work-dir ./eval_results
```

Evaluation results will be automatically saved to the ./eval_results directory.

You can also evaluate specific subtasks or their combinations by modifying the `--data` argument.
The full list of available task names can be found in
`ALMEval_code/datasets/__init__.py.`

Example: Evaluate only the temporal reasoning and spatial reasoning tasks:
```
python ./run.py \
  --model qwen25-omni \
  --data tr sr \
  --dataset_root your_local_data_dir  \
  --work-dir ./eval_results
```
