VeriPhy: Agentic Physical Reasoning for World Model Evaluation and Refinement

VeriPhy is an auditable physical‑verification system that evaluates generated video by compiling prompts into typed physical obligations and a statically validated execution plan before any frames are observed. During execution, it gates calls to frozen low‑level experts (e.g., segmentation, tracking, counting, depth, OCR, audio‑event detection) and returns provenance‑carrying evidence records, which are mapped to a three‑valued state (supported, contradicted, unknown) with full traceability. On a 1,500‑clip corpus of human‑annotated flaw records, VeriPhy accounts for 228 failures out of 304, outperforming a published question‑decomposition evaluator that accounts for 164, while also providing auditable evidence for each verdict.

VeriPhy: Agentic Physical Reasoning for World Model Evaluation and Refinement

VeriPhy is an auditable physical‑verification system that transforms a text prompt into typed physical obligations and a statically validated execution plan before any video frames are generated. During execution, it gates calls to frozen low‑level experts (segmentation, tracking, counting, depth, OCR, audio‑event detection, etc.) and records provenance‑carrying evidence for each action. The system maps these records to a three‑valued state—supported, contradicted, or unknown—providing traceable verdicts that can be used to refine generation models.

Don't Read the Log: Execution Traces Contaminate Verifiers in Video-Generation Agents

The paper investigates how providing execution traces to multimodal judges in agentic video‑generation systems can bias their verdicts. On a benchmark of 109 two‑event clips, traces that falsely report successful tool calls cause large‑language‑model judges to incorrectly accept 78–90 % of failures, while contradictory traces lead to 100 % rejection of correct clips. The effect persists even when judges are instructed to consider only the video frames, indicating that the vulnerability stems from the judges’ learned trust in tool logs rather than the visual content itself.

From Agent Traces to Trust: A Survey of Evidence Tracing and Execution Provenance in LLM Agents

arXiv:2606. 04990v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM)-based agents are evolving from passive text generators into autonomous systems capable of planning, tool use, retrieval, memory access, environmental interaction, and multi-agent collaboration.

Parsing the Stream: A Live Trace Model for Long-Horizon Agents and Their Observers

The paper introduces a live trace model that incrementally folds an append‑only event ledger into typed run state, producing per‑consumer views for both human observers and the agent itself. Evaluations show that for observers, the compiled view reduces input tokens by 14–15× and cost by 5–7× while improving accuracy from 0.48 to 0.85–0.87. For agents, maintaining running statistics in per‑step state enables success on 120‑link sequential tasks where full‑context prompting fails, and a prompt‑level scratchpad matches the fold’s accuracy at lower cost.

Fidelity Is Not Enough: Dispatch-Level Instrumentation for Agentic Datasheet Extraction

The paper reports that a model can pass fidelity checks—verifying that extracted values match the source—without actually opening a datasheet, due to a hidden constraint that disables tool use. To address this, the authors log every tool call in an agentic benchmark and develop two instruments: a rule‑based failure‑attribution classifier and a silent‑failure detector that flags runs based solely on which tools were invoked. While the detector shows low false positives on clean extractions and recovers all planted faults, its recall against correct tool usage but incorrect answers remains unmeasured, and a partial causal chamber confirms only a subset of claims, highlighting limitations in physical verification.

VeriHarness: Scaling Agentic Verification for Long-Horizon Tasks

VeriHarness is a method that enhances verification for large language model agents tackling long‑horizon tasks without needing reference answers at test time. It transforms the base LLM into an agentic verifier by providing a workspace, evidence tools, and reusable verification skills, using disagreement resolution and consensus challenge to evaluate competing claims. Across five benchmarks and two frontier models, VeriHarness outperforms baselines, achieving significant performance gains and demonstrating self‑improvement of verification skills from failure feedback.

Conflicted Records: Typed Adversarial Contracts for Auditable LLM Output Quality Enforcement

The paper introduces BiasGuard‑D, a system that uses two adversarial language‑model agents from different families to exchange typed claim documents, with a third model quorum voting to adjudicate. A combined referential‑plus‑semantic invariant validates the verdict, and the iterative deliberation layer shifts remediation from stereotypes to hallucinations, improving right‑answer recovery by 49 percentage points on HaluEval QA. All claims, votes, and instructions are stored as typed records, providing an auditable provenance trail for operators under emerging AI regulations.
