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.
WorldAgen is a unified framework that jointly learns world modeling and action prediction using a shared Transformer backbone with two specialized heads. It introduces a Mixed Unidirectional Attention Mask to separate the world model and agent model, and enables Test-Time Training (TTT) by sampling exploratory actions and updating the world model with real state transitions. Experiments on CALVIN and LIBERO show that WorldAgen matches or surpasses state‑of‑the‑art methods, especially when TTT is applied to a few samples.
