Researchers have investigated the ability of video world models to retain information about objects that are no longer visible. Experiments using V-JEPA 2 revealed that these models struggle to maintain knowledge of stationary objects, especially those within containers, and lose track of moving objects within seconds. While the encoder can still decode the presence of hidden objects, the predictor's output shows a significant degradation of this information. The study suggests that training can instill a sense of object permanence, improving performance on benchmarks like IntPhys-2019, though the specific training methods and their impact on benchmarks require further examination.
