The best text-only setup glm-5.2 + mm outperformed gemini-3.5-flash, the top vision model, by 5.4 points (6.5%). It was also:
• 1.5x faster (100s vs 150s mean per task) • the only setup with zero timeouts (46/46 completed; gemini timed out 4x on bulk-image and long-video tasks) • the only setup stable across runs (88.5 / 88.4) • top on video (100.0), image (91.7), and PDF (90.0) tasks
The trade-offs: the toolkit consumed 3.3x more tokens (4.25M vs 1.28M), and lost on audio (85.6 vs 71.3).
On completed tasks alone the two are nearly identical (91.0 vs 88.4): the toolkit's edge is efficient extraction that keeps long media tasks inside the time budget.
🌍 World Model Bench — does your world model actually think?
FID measures realism. FVD measures smoothness. But neither tells you whether the model understood the scene.
We just released WM Bench — the first benchmark for cognitive intelligence in world models. The core question: when a beast charges from 3 meters away, does the model know to sprint — not walk? Does it respond differently to a human vs an animal? Does it remember the left corridor was blocked two steps ago?
Those are cognitive questions. No existing benchmark asks them. So we built one.
- 👁 P1 Perception (25%) — Can it read the scene? - 🧠 P2 Cognition (45%) — Does it predict threats, escalate emotions, utilize memory? - 🔥 P3 Embodiment (30%) — Does the body respond with the right motion?
All evaluation is via simple JSON I/O — no 3D engine, no special hardware. Any model with an API can participate.
We also built PROMETHEUS as a live reference implementation — runs in your browser on a T4, no install needed. Combines FloodDiffusion motion generation with a LLM cognitive brain (Perceive → Predict → Decide → Act). Scored 726/1000 (Grade B) on Track C — the only directly verified model so far. Submissions from other teams very welcome.
