RealityBench: 3D Blender Worlds Stress-Test 30+ Frontier Models on Physical Reasoning
arnabdotorg · x · 2026-10-14
The Relantic team launched RealityBench, a benchmark that uses simulated 3D environments built in Blender — construction and maintenance of houses and cars — to evaluate how well frontier VLMs perceive and reason about real-world physical work.
- Tasks target physical work perception and reasoning in controllable simulated scenes
- The team benchmarked 30+ frontier models with it
