The paper introduces AnyGoal, a benchmark that tests world models on goal‑shifted task variants where state and action factors are recombined beyond the combinations seen in expert rollouts. It evaluates how well different world‑model families generalize to these unseen recombinations across multiple environments, revealing consistent failures. The study analyzes dynamics and representation shortcomings to identify where current models succeed and where they struggle in goal‑shifted prediction and planning.
