Mind the Gap Between Spatial Reasoning and Acting! Step-by-Step Evaluation of Agents With Spatial-Gym
Researchers introduce Spatial-Gym, a benchmarking environment that evaluates AI models on spatial reasoning tasks through step-by-step pathfinding in 2D grids rather than one-shot generation. Testing eight models reveals a significant performance gap, with the best model achieving only 16% solve rate versus 98% for humans, exposing critical limitations in how AI systems scale reasoning effort and process spatial information.
