When building AI vision systems, models often perform brilliantly in clean, high-contrast environments. But what happens when visual clutter, occlusion, or subtle spatial obstacles are introduced? </li> <li>For this benchmark, I designed a specialized task suite focused on visual obstacle and debris localization under cluttered conditions. </li> <li>The tasks test a model's ability to reason through spatial layouts, identify partial occlusions, and accurately interpret complex visual anomalies that mimic real-world cleaning or removal scenarios.</li> <li><p>I wanted to see if modern models can reliably look past superficial noise to extract true spatial insights.</p></li> <li><p>Which models did you test?<br> To get a comprehensive comparative analysis, I ran this benchmark across a diverse lineup of current multimodal powerhouses:</p></li> <li><p>GPT-4o / Leading Vision LLMs: Chosen for their advanced multi-step visual reasoning and generalized instruction-following capabilities.</p></li> <li><p>Claude 3.5 Sonnet: Included for its precise code generation and sharp attention to detail in complex visual contexts.</p></li> <li><p>Open-source/Custom Vision-Language Baselines: Integrated to measure how smaller or localized architectures stack up against proprietary models in specialized spatial tasks.</p></li> <li><p>Main Insights &amp; Findings</p></li> <li><p>The Clutter Trap: While top-tier models excelled at clean object identification, their accuracy dropped significantly when debris was semi-transparent or blended into high-texture backgrounds.</p></li> <li><p>Reasoning vs. Guessing: Instead of failing outright, some models hallucinated spatial coordinates when faced with extreme occlusion, proving that advanced multi-step reasoning doesn't always translate automatically to fine-grained spatial accuracy.</p></li> <li><p>What's Next: Moving forward, I plan to expand this benchmark by incorporating automated synthetic noise generation pipelines and testing real-time execution speeds to measure performance degradation under heavy load.</p></li> <li><p>Where can you see it?</p></li> <li><p>You can explore the complete code, task configurations, and raw evaluation datasets directly on my Kaggle benchmark repository here: [Insert Kaggle Benchmark Link Here]</p></li> </ol> <p>Tags: #kagglechallenge #ai #python #machinelearning</p> devchallenge kagglechallenge ai machinelearning Abdullah Qureshi Wed, 15 Jul 2026 04:04:16 +0000 https://dev.to/abdullah_qureshi_adddfe37/bugsmash-4640 https://dev.to/abdullah_qureshi_adddfe37/bugsmash-4640 <p><em>This is a submission for <a href="https://dev.to/bugsmash">DEV's Summer Bug Smash: Clear the Lineup</a> powered by <a href="https://sentry.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sentry</a>.</em></p> <h2> Project Overview </h2> <h2> Bug Fix or Performance Improvement </h2> <h2> Code </h2> <h2> My Improvements </h2> <h2> Best Use of Sentry </h2> <h2> Best Use of Google AI </h2> devchallenge bugsmash Abdullah Qureshi Fri, 10 Jul 2026 05:29:47 +0000 https://dev.to/abdullah_qureshi_adddfe37/passion-pursuit-tracker-ai-powered-hobby-mentor-4d5a https://dev.to/abdullah_qureshi_adddfe37/passion-pursuit-tracker-ai-powered-hobby-mentor-4d5a <p><em>This is a submission for <a href="https://dev.to/challenges/weekend-2026-07-09">Weekend Challenge: Passion Edition</a></em></p> <h2> What I Built </h2> <h2> Demo </h2> <h2> Code </h2> <h2> How I Built It </h2> <h2> Prize Categories </h2> devchallenge weekendchallenge Abdullah Qureshi Wed, 08 Jul 2026 04:09:54 +0000 https://dev.to/abdullah_qureshi_adddfe37/june-solstice-game-jam-1ipg https://dev.to/abdullah_qureshi_adddfe37/june-solstice-game-jam-1ipg <p><em>This is a submission for the <a href="https://dev.to/challenges/june-game-jam-2026-06-03">June Solstice Game Jam</a></em></p> <h2> What I Built </h2> <h2> Video Demo </h2> <h2> Code </h2> <h2> How I Built It </h2> <h2> Prize Category </h2> devchallenge gamechallenge gamedev Abdullah Qureshi Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:35:26 +0000 https://dev.to/abdullah_qureshi_adddfe37/solstice-quest-my-entry-for-the-june-solstice-game-jam-5410 https://dev.to/abdullah_qureshi_adddfe37/solstice-quest-my-entry-for-the-june-solstice-game-jam-5410 <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fkzxs94av8xbghzpnvqxa.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fkzxs94av8xbghzpnvqxa.png" alt=" " width="688" height="1532"></a><em>This is a submission for the <a href="https://dev.to/challenges/google-gemma-2026-05-06">Gemma 4 Challenge: Build with Gemma 4</a></em></p> <h2> What I Built </h2> <h2> Demo </h2> <h2> Code </h2> <h2> How I Used Gemma 4 </h2> devchallenge gemmachallenge gemma Abdullah Qureshi Fri, 12 Jun 2026 06:10:57 +0000 https://dev.to/abdullah_qureshi_adddfe37/june-solstice-game-jam-submission-insert-your-game-name-here-1ap8 https://dev.to/abdullah_qureshi_adddfe37/june-solstice-game-jam-submission-insert-your-game-name-here-1ap8 <p><em>This is a submission for the <a href="https://dev.to/challenges/june-game-jam-2026-06-03">June Solstice Game Jam</a></em></p> <h2> What I Built </h2> <h2> Video Demo </h2> <h2> Code </h2> <h2> How I Built It </h2> <h2> Prize Category </h2> devchallenge gamechallenge gamedev
