New benchmark CaliBench tests physical calibration of video world models

Researchers have introduced CaliBench, a new benchmark designed to evaluate the physical calibration of video world models. Unlike existing methods that assess generations broadly, CaliBench scores outcomes in discrete, physically interpretable spaces like dice rolls or roulette spins. This allows for a direct measurement of a model's ability to accurately represent specific phenomena's uncertainty. Applied to nine scenes and six leading video models, the benchmark revealed that most models struggle with calibration, often collapsing probability mass onto a few outcomes or exhibiting low scorability, particularly when dealing with ambiguous results.

    CaliBench: Are the Stochastic Dynamics of Video World Models Physically Calibrated?

    arXiv:2608.16829v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video world models approximate the stochastic distribution of physical outcomes through generative sampling, but existing benchmarks score individual generations or compare distributions coarsely over a whole dataset, leaving the …
