VGI-Bench: Seedance Leads Visual Reasoning Benchmark for Video Models
青稞AI · wechat · 2026-09-01
To test if video models possess "visual reasoning via generation," researchers built VGI-Bench with 27 tasks and 810 samples. Results show models have emerging reasoning skills but lack stability.
Top 3: Seedance 2.0 (51.0), MiniMax-H3 (44.4), Kling 3.0 (44.0).
Key Findings:
- Visual appearance significantly impacts scores and rankings.
- Fine-tuning on large-scale synthetic data boosts performance by enhancing reasoning and reducing rule violations.
- Internal denoising traces show models form hypotheses early with minimal self-correction later.
- High scores in some closed-source models likely stem from external VLM prompt rewriting, not native ability. Open-source MiniMax-H3 nearing SOTA suggests scaling laws apply to video reasoning.
