Omni‑SafetyBench is a new benchmark designed to evaluate the safety of Omni‑Modal Large Language Models (OLLMs) that process visual, auditory, and textual data. It contains 23,328 test instances across 24 modality variations derived from 972 seed samples, and introduces metrics such as Safety‑score (based on Conditional Attack Success Rate and Conditional Refusal Rate) and Cross‑Modal Safety Consistency score. Evaluation of 11 state‑of‑the‑art OLLMs shows severe vulnerabilities, with only three models achieving a Safety‑score above 0.6 and safety degrading sharply for audio‑visual inputs, underscoring the need for improved safety alignment methods.
arXiv:2608. 05381v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) can process diverse sensory inputs, yet their reasoning remains heavily biased toward a dominant modality, resulting in brittle cross-modal reasoning.
arXiv:2606. 05177v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing multimodal safety benchmarks focus solely on visual inputs and cannot assess Omni Large Language Models (LLMs) that process vision, audio, and text.

The paper introduces D3-Omni, a balanced and decoupled benchmark designed to diagnose fine‑grained multimodal understanding in OmniJudges that evaluate text‑to‑image, text‑to‑video, and text‑to‑speech generation. D3-Omni covers 53 orthogonal binary dimensions across 10,671 samples, using fixed positive seeds and controlled prompt rewriting to generate negatives, thereby ensuring each error can be attributed to a single capability. The benchmark’s dual‑balanced, decoupled, and dynamic design achieves near 1:1 per‑dimension parity and a uniform total‑score distribution, revealing that strong OmniJudges often miss modality‑related failures and treat distinct attributes as a single decision, masking systematic blind spots.
