AGI Maze Prediction Datasets: A Compact Benchmark for Learning World Dynamics with Transformers

The paper introduces the AGI Maze Prediction Datasets and Benchmark, a lightweight testbed for evaluating how Transformers and other models learn world dynamics. The benchmark, built from procedurally generated grid worlds, includes per‑step transition prediction, fixed‑horizon state prediction, and sequential textual‑observation prediction, with source‑maze‑disjoint training and validation splits to test transferable action‑conditioned dynamics. Experiments show that a pseudo‑video spatial‑memory Transformer, which initializes and updates a two‑dimensional latent workspace from the input map and action history, achieves perfect validation accuracy on selected tasks and improves sequential text‑trace prediction, outperforming byte‑level and unstructured‑memory baselines and suggesting that structured, task‑aligned working memory is more effective than additional latent capacity alone.
