SEA-VL crawling is a large-scale Southeast Asia–focused image–caption collection (~1.27M web-crawled culturally relevant pairs). For MTEB evaluation we deterministically downsample to 2048 image–caption pairs via a seeded streaming shuffle (buffer=10000), using the first non-empty caption per image. Queries are images; the corpus contains captions (image→text retrieval).
