EXPLORE-Bench: Egocentric Scene Prediction with Long-Horizon Reasoning
arXiv:2603. 09731v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are increasingly considered as a foundation for embodied agents, yet it remains unclear whether they can reliably reason about the long-term physical consequences of actions from an egocentric viewpoint.

Metric-Bench: Exploring In-context Spatial Metric Reasoning in VLMs for Indoor Scenes
Metric-Bench introduces a new benchmark for Vision‑Language Models (VLMs) that focuses on metric‑spatial reasoning in indoor scenes by using in‑image reference objects with known dimensions. The accompanying MetricReasoner fine‑tuning recipe employs structured prompts and numerical rewards to implicitly learn 2D‑to‑3D mapping without camera intrinsics. Experiments show that this approach improves spatial metric understanding by 43.1 % over existing models and boosts downstream embodied tasks, while also delivering gains on general VLM benchmarks.
