Introduction

We propose UniGenBench, a unified and versatile benchmark for image generation that integrates diverse prompt themes with a comprehensive suite of fine-grained evaluation criteria.

✨ Highlights:

• Comprehensive and Fine-grained Evaluation: covering 10 primary dimensions and 27 sub-dimensions, enabling systematic and fine-grained assessment of diverse model capabilities.

• Rich Prompt Theme Coverage: organized into 5 primary themes and 20 sub-themes, comprehensively spanning both realistic and imaginative generation scenarios.

• Efficient yet Comprehensive: unlike other benchmarks, UniGenBench requires only 600 prompts, with each prompt targeting 1–10 specific testpoint, ensuring both coverage and efficiency.

• Stremlined MLLM Evaluation: Each testpoint of the prompt is accompanied by a detailed description, explaining how the testpoint is reflected in the prompt, assisting MLLM in conducting precise evaluations.

• Bilingual and Length-variant Prompt Support: providing both English and Chinese test prompts in short and long forms, together with evaluation pipelines for both languages, thus enabling fair and broad cross-lingual benchmarking.

• Reliable Evaluation Model for Offline Assessment: To facilitate community use, we train a robust evaluation model that supports offline assessment of T2I model outputs.

📑 Prompt Introduction

Each prompt in our benchmark is recorded as a row in a .csv file, combining with structured annotations for evaluation.

• index
• prompt: The full English prompt to be tested
• sub_dims: A JSON-encoded field that organizes rich metadata, including:
  • Primary / Secondary Categories – prompt theme (e.g., Creative Divergence → Imaginative Thinking)
  • Subjects – the main entities involved in the prompt (e.g., Animal)
  • Sentence Structure – the linguistic form of the prompt (e.g., Descriptive)
  • Testpoints – key aspects to evaluate (e.g., Style, World Knowledge, Attribute - Quantity)
  • Testpoint Description – evaluation cues extracted from the prompt (e.g., classical ink painting, Egyptian pyramids, two pandas)

🚀 Inference

We provide reference code for multi-node inference based on FLUX.1-dev.

# English Prompt
bash inference/flux_en_dist_infer.sh

# Chinese Prompt
bash inference/flux_zh_dist_infer.sh

For each test prompt, 4 images are generated and stored in the following folder structure:

output_directory/
  ├── 0_0.png
  ├── 0_1.png
  ├── 0_2.png
  ├── 0_3.png
  ├── 1_0.png
  ├── 1_1.png
  ...

The file naming follows the pattern promptID_imageID.png

📂 Expected Image Directory Structure

The evaluation scripts expect generated images organized as follows:

eval_data/
  ├── en/
  │   └── FLUX.1-dev/          # --model name
  │       ├── 0_0.png
  │       ├── 0_1.png
  │       ├── ...
  │       └── 599_3.png
  ├── en_long/
  │   └── FLUX.1-dev/
  ├── zh/
  │   └── FLUX.1-dev/
  └── zh_long/
      └── FLUX.1-dev/

File naming: {promptID}_{imageID}.png (4 images per prompt by default).

You can customize the base directory via --eval_data_dir, images per prompt via --images_per_prompt, and file extension via --image_suffix.

✨ Evaluation with Gemini 2.5 Pro

We use gemini-2.5-pro (GA, June 17, 2025) via OpenAI-compatible API.

1. Evaluation

# Set API credentials (or pass via --api_key / --base_url)
export GEMINI_API_KEY="sk-xxxxxxx"
export GEMINI_BASE_URL="https://..."

# Evaluate English & Chinese short prompts
bash eval/eval_gemini.sh --model FLUX.1-dev --categories en zh

# Evaluate all categories (en, en_long, zh, zh_long)
bash eval/eval_gemini.sh --model FLUX.1-dev --categories all

# Resume from previous progress
bash eval/eval_gemini.sh --model FLUX.1-dev --categories en --resume

Available categories: en (English short), en_long (English long), zh (Chinese short), zh_long (Chinese long), all.

Run bash eval/eval_gemini.sh -h for all options (--num_processes, --images_per_prompt, etc.).

2. Output

After evaluation, for each category:

• Scores across all dimensions are printed to the console
• A detailed CSV results file is saved: ./results/{model}_{category}.csv
• A JSON score summary is saved: ./results/{model}_{category}.json

3. Re-calculate Scores

python eval/src/calculate_score.py --result_csv ./results/FLUX.1-dev_en.csv --json_path ./results/FLUX.1-dev_en.json

✨ Evaluation with UniGenBench-EvalModel

1. Deploy vLLM Server

Install dependencies:

pip install vllm>=0.11.0 qwen-vl-utils==0.0.14

Start server:

# UniGenBench-EvalModel-qwen-72b-v1
vllm serve CodeGoat24/UniGenBench-EvalModel-qwen-72b-v1 \
    --host localhost --port 8080 \
    --served-model-name QwenVL \
    --trust-remote-code \
    --gpu-memory-utilization 0.9 \
    --tensor-parallel-size 4 \
    --limit-mm-per-prompt.image 2

# UniGenBench-EvalModel-qwen3vl-32b-v1 (recommended, supports 8 GPUs)
vllm serve CodeGoat24/UniGenBench-EvalModel-qwen3vl-32b-v1 \
    --host localhost --port 8080 \
    --served-model-name QwenVL \
    --trust-remote-code \
    --gpu-memory-utilization 0.9 \
    --tensor-parallel-size 8 \
    --limit-mm-per-prompt.image 2

2. Evaluation

# Evaluate English & Chinese short prompts
bash eval/eval_vllm.sh --model FLUX.1-dev --categories en zh

# Evaluate all categories
bash eval/eval_vllm.sh --model FLUX.1-dev --categories all

# Custom server URL and resume
bash eval/eval_vllm.sh --model FLUX.1-dev --categories en_long zh_long \
    --api_url http://gpu-server:8080 --resume

Run bash eval/eval_vllm.sh -h for all options.

3. Output

Same as Gemini evaluation — results are saved to ./results/{model}_{category}.csv and ./results/{model}_{category}.json.

4. Re-calculate Scores

python eval/src/calculate_score.py --result_csv ./results/FLUX.1-dev_en.csv --json_path ./results/FLUX.1-dev_en.json
