Scientific and engineering progress is fundamentally a long-horizon iterative process: proposing changes, running experiments, measuring outcomes, and continuously refining artifacts. Yet existing benchmarks for frontier models primarily evaluate either single-turn responses or short-horizon agent trajectories, failing to capture the challenges of sustained iterative improvement over extended time horizons.

arXiv:2605. 14398v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Video-based world models generate visually plausible rollouts, but since they infer dynamics in latent states, they enforce no explicit physical constraints: contacts drift, shapes distort, and motion loses consistency.

arXiv:2606. 04261v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Curating training data is among the most consequential yet labor-intensive parts of modern AI development: practitioners iteratively propose, implement, evaluate, and revise data policies against noisy benchmark feedback.

MineExplorer is a benchmark designed to assess the open‑world exploration abilities of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) in Minecraft. It filters out tasks that rely heavily on Minecraft‑specific knowledge, organizes tasks into ReAct‑style capabilities, and composes atomic tasks into implicit multi‑hop challenges. A multi‑agent synthesis workflow creates reliable task graphs, sandbox scenes, and rule‑based milestone evaluators, and human evaluation confirms its superiority over a single‑agent baseline. Experiments show that while advanced MLLMs can handle many single‑hop tasks, they struggle with longer trajectories that require coordinating hidden prerequisites, and larger models or different thinking modes do not consistently improve performance.
