ABACUS evaluates whether image edits deliver requested object counts while preserving existing instances and scene content. It compares source and edited images, matches objects one-to-one, and checks candidate additions with detectors, using a VLM only for rare ambiguous categories. On 600 images, its counts agree with human annotations on 0.82; the benchmark covers 80 COCO thing categories.
