The paper introduces the Very Big Video Reasoning (VBVR) Dataset, a large-scale collection of over one million video clips organized into 200 curated reasoning tasks. It also presents VBVR-Bench, a benchmark framework that uses rule-based, human-aligned scorers for reproducible evaluation of video reasoning models. The authors conduct a large-scale scaling study, noting early signs of emergent generalization to unseen reasoning tasks, and make all resources publicly available.

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.
