The paper introduces KVoiceBench, KOpenAudioBench, and KMMAU—three Korean speech benchmarks created through agent-driven frameworks that adapt existing SpokenQA and ASR resources into Korean SpokenQA and audio understanding tasks. These benchmarks total 12,345 samples and are publicly released to evaluate SpeechLMs beyond English. The authors benchmark eight recent SpeechLMs, revealing significant English‑Korean performance gaps and divergent rankings between SpokenQA and audio understanding, highlighting multilingual weaknesses not apparent in English-only tests.

SEA-SpeechBench is a large‑scale multitask benchmark for speech understanding in 11 Southeast Asian languages, comprising 97,194 samples across 99 evaluation sets and 597 hours of curated audio. It covers nine tasks in three categories—speech processing, paralinguistic analysis, and a novel temporal understanding dimension—using multilingual prompting in both native SEA languages and English. Evaluation of current models shows significant performance gaps, especially in temporal understanding, emotion recognition, and speech translation, with low‑resource languages lagging behind English by up to 41 percentage points.
WorldBench is a new multilingual benchmark that tests large language model agents on culturally grounded everyday workflows, offering 1,600 tasks in seven languages and eight cultures. The benchmark evaluates agents through structured sandbox actions and introduces Constrained Task Success (CTS), a metric that assesses task completion, minimal modification, and other complementary aspects via deterministic and LLM-as-a-Judge evaluations. Experiments show that even leading models achieve only 49.2% CTS, revealing significant gaps in correctness and state preservation across languages and cultures.
Despite the growing use of LLM-powered agents to solve multi-step tasks in complex environments, existing benchmarks rarely test state preservation, performance across languages, and application to re...
