The paper introduces RIG-BENCH, a benchmark for evaluating reasoning-driven image generation (RIG) in four cognitively demanding domains—Concept-based, Transformation-based, Pattern & Structure, and Scenario-based—using 2000 curated samples. It highlights a reasoning-generation gap in current unified generative models (UGMs) and world simulators, noting that these models often produce locally plausible but globally illogical outputs. RIG-BENCH aims to serve as a rigorous stress test and diagnostic framework to guide the development of next-generation, logically grounded UGMs and simulators.
VBVR-Pro is a closed‑loop testbed that enables native visual reasoning through generation, offering 300 procedurally generated tasks that scale training and allow strong transfer to external benchmarks. It supplies verifiable reward scorers based on deterministic, task‑specific rules, outperforming VLM‑as‑a‑judge approaches and providing reliable signals for reinforcement learning. The suite also facilitates controlled modality studies, revealing that video generation excels at persistent spatiotemporal tracking while interleaved generation offers a compute‑efficient alternative, and highlights the importance of vision‑native trajectories for reasoning.

The paper introduces VWG-Bench, a benchmark covering nine reasoning dimensions and 38 tasks to evaluate video generative models on symbolic reasoning, physical laws, and goal pursuit. It also presents Vid-PRE, a prompt-rewriting framework that offloads reasoning to a VLM, improving logical performance without changing the generator architecture. Experiments show that current models excel at visual quality but struggle with logic-heavy tasks, while Vid-PRE significantly boosts reasoning across multiple generators.
