Researchers led by @varunvarmat and @shivamtr, with anandbhattad's group, released Principia, a relational physics benchmark for video models.
- Covers eight physics laws across 500+ real-world scenes
- Finding: video models understand high-school physics less well than commonly assumed
- A systematic test of physical consistency in video generation, with paper and project links available
