Summary

SABRE generates controlled images and questions that punish answers based on expectation instead of pixels.

Its first benchmark contains 600 images and 1,000 questions; six tested vision-language models averaged 22.6 percent accuracy. Human review remains part of the pipeline, so the work automates benchmark construction rather than removing validation.
