Training Object Permanence in World Models

The paper introduces WROP, a dataset of 150 hand‑designed cognitive tasks aimed at testing object permanence in video generation models. Using Blender, the authors generate over 10,000 samples per task, compiling a 1.5 M‑sample training corpus and a 300‑question exam. They evaluate 14 video models, showing that their 16B world model, PWM‑WROP, ranks first among continuation models and third overall in a blind Elo study.

Critique of World Model

arXiv:2507. 05169v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: World Model, the algorithmic simulator of the real-world environment which biological agents experience and act upon, has been an emerging topic in recent years due to the rising need to develop virtual agents with artificial (general) intelligence.

World Models: A Comprehensive Survey of Architectures, Methodologies, Reasoning Paradigms, and Applications

arXiv:2606. 00133v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: World models, internal simulators that learn the structure and dynamics of an environment, have emerged as a central paradigm in the pursuit of artificial general intelligence, enabling agents to predict, plan, and reason within learned representations.
