Apple-π benchmark tests whether video models can reason about physics
liuziwei7 · x · 2026-07-21
Researchers introduce Apple-π, a benchmark for asking whether video models can reason about physics instead of merely producing plausible motion.
- The benchmark is designed around law-grounded physical reasoning.
- It decomposes the task into Perception → Formulation → Deduction.
- The dataset contains 400 videos and 10 mechanics tasks.
- The authors released the paper, code, and leaderboard, making it usable for evaluation and follow-up work.
