We introduced Holistic Evaluation of Text-to-Image Models (HEIM), a new benchmark to assess 12 important aspects in text-to-image generation, including alignment, quality, aesthetics, originality, reasoning, knowledge, bias, toxicity, fairness, robustness, multilinguality, and efficiency. Our evaluation of 26 recent text-to-image models reveals that different models excel in different aspects, opening up research avenues to study whether and how to develop models that excel across multiple aspects. To enhance transparency and reproducibility, we release our evaluation pipeline, along with the generated images and human evaluation results. We encourage the community to consider the different aspects when developing text-to-image models.
