MiniMax VL 01 wins the one area where both have results: images and charts. Phi 4 Multimodal Instruct wins none.

How do you compare the two?

We use the 7 benchmark tests both models have published scores on. The verdict counts the 4 tests in the eight capability areas, and a gap under one point (ten on rating-style scales) counts as a tie. The other 3 are listed but not counted, because several are summary scores or repeat a test. Each score is the one shown on the model's own page.
