Multimodal Knowledge Agent

Google DeepMind, in partnership with Artificial Analysis, has launched the Multimodal Knowledge Agent (MKA) benchmark to evaluate agentic knowledge work over complex visual files. It comprises 200 private real-world tasks across 10 industries, requiring agents to produce deliverables such as slide decks, spreadsheets, and reports from dense visual inputs like architectural drawings, engineering schematics, and clinical scans, emphasizing realistic visual complexity and domain specificity.
