The Gordian Knot for VLMs: Diagrammatic Knot Reasoning as a Hard Benchmark

Researchers unveiled KnotBench, a comprehensive benchmark testing vision-language models' ability to reason about knot diagrams, revealing that current models like Claude Opus and GPT-5 struggle fundamentally with spatial reasoning and symbolic operations despite perceiving visual details. The benchmark demonstrates a critical gap between perception and reasoning capabilities, with most tasks scoring near or below random chance, suggesting VLMs lack mechanisms to simulate geometric transformations.

Can VLMs Predict Future States? Bootstrapping World Models from Inverse Dynamics

Researchers demonstrate that vision-language models (VLMs) can predict future image states by first learning inverse dynamics (identifying actions from frame pairs), then using this capability to bootstrap forward prediction through synthetic data annotation and inference-time verification. The approach achieves competitive results with specialized image editing models on the Aurora-Bench benchmark.
