Cameras are easy. Audits are not. That is the useful irritation inside FoodMonitor: Benchmarking MLLMs for Explainable Compliance Analysis, a new benchmark for testing multimodal large language models on commercial-kitchen compliance monitoring.1 The paper is not asking whether a model can watch a kitchen video and say something vaguely sensible about hygiene. Many systems can now do that, at least with enough confidence to impress a demo audience and mildly alarm the legal department. ...

We knew that. The useful result is that model lineages mutate their public governance signals as they spread. ...

The operational answer is usually less glamorous: nobody wants to burn a full training cycle every time a user, regulator, data-quality team, or security analyst says, “Remove this.” ...
