The poster says that within two days of the Animation Bench release, he spoke with six researchers from different (or newly formed) labs, and their first reaction was that it's "crazy that no one has thought about this capability gap earlier." The benchmark apparently exposes a widely overlooked weakness in models' animation capabilities, resonating across labs. More announcements are teased, though benchmark details are not given here.
