Researchers have introduced WOVEN, a new benchmark and training dataset designed to improve visual transition reasoning in multimodal large language models (MLLMs). Despite advancements, current MLLMs exhibit significant deficits in spatial, embodied, and temporal reasoning, which the WOVEN dataset aims to address by organizing supervision data across various scenes, actions, and reasoning types. Evaluations of 38 frontier MLLMs, including GPT-5.4 and Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B, revealed substantial performance gaps compared to humans, with scale offering minimal improvement. Training on WOVEN, however, demonstrated that even small subsets of data can foster a reusable capability that transfers broadly, enhancing performance on numerous external benchmarks and suggesting a new training recipe for visual world modeling in MLLMs. AI
