ICM-Bench is a new benchmark for evaluating identity-centric reasoning in multimodal agents with long-term memory. It consists of 839 synthetic video clips totaling 141 minutes and 1,217 open-ended questions about six recurring adults in a one-year life album. The benchmark isolates the ability to maintain recurring person identities and reason over their cross-time relations, and compares various baseline systems, showing that while Gemini 3.1 Pro performs well overall, its accuracy drops on questions requiring long-term identity profiles.

When should an intelligent assistant speak up without being asked? Continuous egocentric video offers rich, evolving context that enables a new form of assistance: one that is proactive rather than merely reactive.
CapMem is a new benchmark for evaluating caption-based episodic memory in egocentric video. It contains 75 videos (33.7 hours total) and 1,000 multiple-choice questions across 16 scenarios, designed to test the Episodic Memory Video Caption QA task. Experiments show that using captions as memory outperforms direct VideoQA on long videos, and a caption-guided retrieve-and-verify approach further boosts accuracy.

EgoMemReason is a new benchmark for week‑long egocentric video understanding that focuses on memory‑driven reasoning rather than simple perception tasks. It tests three memory types—entity, event, and behavior—across 500 questions, each requiring evidence from an average of 5.1 video segments and 25.9 hours of backtracking. Evaluation of 17 models shows that even the best achieves only 39.6% accuracy, highlighting the difficulty of long‑horizon memory in multimodal systems.
