VLMs struggle with game clipping detection, Gemini-3.1-Flash leads

Researchers evaluated six Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for detecting geometry clipping in video games using an agent-driven QA pipeline. The models, including Gemini, GPT, Qwen, Gemma, Llama, and Ministral, were tested in a zero-shot setting with various prompts. While VLMs showed potential in identifying clipping, they struggled with visually ambiguous frames, leading to false positives. Gemini-3.1-Flash performed best overall, but current VLMs are deemed more suitable as initial filters in QA pipelines rather than standalone bug detectors. AI

IMPACT Current VLMs show promise for anomaly detection in QA pipelines but require further development to reduce false positives on ambiguous frames.

    Evaluating VLMs for Autonomous Agent-Driven Geometry Clipping Detection in Video Game QA

    In this work, we study the use of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for anomaly detection in an agent-driven game Quality Assurance (QA) pipeline focusing on geometry clipping. In this evaluation, a custom exploration agent navigates a game level to collect visual observations, while…
