A new diagnostic suite called AVTrace has been developed to evaluate the temporal reasoning capabilities of omni models, which are designed to process both audio and visual information. The suite includes over 34,000 training examples and tests for tasks such as event localization, order preservation, and audio-visual synchronization. Initial evaluations of five open omni models revealed that they perform poorly on synchronization verification and other temporal reasoning tasks, scoring below a simple baseline. While parameter-efficient temporal post-training showed some improvement for Gemma4-E4B-it, the findings highlight that semantic overlap in text should not be used as a proxy for temporal understanding in these models.
