CRYSTAL is a diagnostic benchmark comprising 6,372 multimodal reasoning instances that assess models through verifiable intermediate steps. It introduces two metrics—Match F1 and Ordered Match F1—to evaluate step-level precision, recall, and order. The benchmark, built via a Delphi-inspired pipeline with four independent MLLMs, reveals systematic failures in current models, such as cherry‑picking and disordered reasoning, and proposes a Causal Process Reward and CPR‑Curriculum to improve reasoning performance.

arXiv:2604. 01993v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multi-hop QA benchmarks often reward Large Language Models (LLMs) for spurious correctness, where models reach correct answers through invalid intermediate reasoning.
