Automatically evaluating multimodal generation presents a significant challenge, as automated metrics often struggle to align with human evaluation, especially for complex tasks that involve multiple modalities. To address this, we present MMMG, a comprehensive and human-aligned benchmark for multimodal generation across 4 modality combinations (image, audio, interleaved text and image, interleaved text and audio), with a focus on tasks that present significant challenges for generation models, while still enabling reliable automatic evaluation through a combination of models and programs. MMMG encompasses 55 tasks (including 31 newly developed ones), each with a carefully designed evaluation pipeline, and 1288 instructions to systematically assess reasoning, controllability, and other key capabilities of multimodal generation models. Extensive validation demonstrates that MMMG is highly aligned with human judgment, achieving an average agreement of 94.4%. Benchmarking results on 29 models reveal that even though the state-of-the-art model, GPT Image, achieves 70.7% accuracy for image generation, it falls short on interleaved generation. Furthermore, results suggest considerable improvement space in audio generation, highlighting an important future direction.
