Abstract

As vision-language models (VLMs) rapidly advance in image understanding, cross-modal reasoning, and complex instruction execution, instruction-following capability has become a key indicator of their reliability and practicality. However, existing multimodal instruction-following benchmarks still suffer from limited language coverage and insufficient adversarial safety scenarios, making them inadequate for evaluating real-world multilingual and safety-sensitive settings. To address these gaps, we present MM-IFEval-Pro, a multimodal instruction-following benchmark covering Chinese and English tasks as well as diverse instruction hijacking cases. MM-IFEval-Pro includes 4 major task categories and 24 subcategories and 8 instruction categories with 52 subcategories, with each sample containing an average of 3.0 constraints to realistically simulate complex instruction scenarios. We further construct a reinforcement-learning training set enriched with Chinese and adversarial instructions, which significantly improves model performance on MM-IFEval-Pro and transfers effectively to other mainstream multimodal benchmarks, demonstrating strong cross-task and cross-language generalization.
