Research release

Japanese cultural images are part of the evaluation

The model card evaluates WAON-Bench, a Japanese cultural image classification benchmark, alongside image-text retrieval and other image classification tasks. It also compares an identically sized model tuned on ReLAION.WAON SigLIP 2 Base official model card

Evaluate local cultural terms directly

Practical guidance. For a Japanese image search system, include regional objects, events and labels in evaluation. General image benchmarks can miss the vocabulary that makes a local catalog useful.
