Multimodal large language models have made rapid progress in video understanding, yet existing benchmarks largely rely on simple prompts and provide limited evidence about whether models can satisfy explicit output constraints. We introduce VCIFBench, a benchmark for evaluating complex instruction following in video understanding.

SemComp-Bench introduces a new video generation task called Semantic Task Completion, where a model must produce a video that achieves a specified outcome while maintaining semantic alignment with a reference image. The benchmark includes the SemComp-Data dataset, spanning six domains, and a four-stage curation pipeline that transforms raw videos into standardized instances. Evaluation is performed via a vision‑language model that answers structured binary questions, yielding Outcome Achievement (OA) and Generation Reliability (GR) scores.
WALL-WM is a World Action Model that shifts video-action learning from chunk-centric optimization to event-grounded Vision-Language-Action pretraining, using semantically coherent action events as the atomic unit of learning. Existing WAMs commonly initialize from multimodal or video foundation models and then optimize fixed-length action chunks conditioned directly on the current observation and instruction.

arXiv:2603. 18558v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Long-form video question answering requires reasoning over extended temporal contexts, making frame selection a critical bottleneck for multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) bound by finite context windows.
OmniAssistBench is a new benchmark for evaluating omni-modal large language models (Omni-LLMs) as real‑time video assistants that actively guide users toward goals. The benchmark addresses the challenge of dynamic interaction paths by providing models with predefined priors from source videos, forcing them to follow the same routes as users. The dataset was constructed by reverse‑engineering existing Internet videos into multi‑turn clips, a process that required over 1,000 expert person‑hours. Results show that proprietary Gemini‑3‑Pro scores 66.4/100 while open‑source Qwen3‑Omni‑Instruct scores 51.2, revealing that current models often give incorrect or incomplete answers, struggle with visual prompts, and fail to maintain context or delay responses until target events.
