Visual understanding
2Image-understanding evidence stays in the overall leaderboard. Understanding images and creating attractive designs are different abilities.
Chinese and multilingual ability
2Supplementary language evidence. English writing is not treated as Chinese-language ability.
“Observing” means data, run conditions or usage boundaries are still being checked, and the source does not contribute to overall or category boards. Repeated collection and display slices do not add voting weight. Overlap between evaluation task sets requires continuing review.
