New Realtime-Bench tests AI models' ability to act under temporal constraints

A new benchmark called Realtime-Bench has been developed to evaluate the ability of frontier AI models to perform tasks in real-time interactive environments. The benchmark includes dynamic tasks where delayed actions negatively impact success rates. Experiments using Realtime-Bench showed that even the best models achieved only a 44% success rate under a 'Wall Clock' setting, which accounts for actual inference latency. The benchmark also introduces 'Paused Clock' and 'Token Clock' to differentiate between serving latency and the model's intrinsic real-time streaming capability, revealing a trade-off between decision quality and timely execution under time pressure. AI

IMPACT Highlights the challenge for AI models in real-time interactive tasks and suggests directions for improving temporal awareness and adaptive reasoning.
