Realtime-Bench: best frontier models reliably complete only 36% of real-time tasks

ChengleiSi · x · 2026-10-24

jiaxinpei's team released Realtime-Bench, a carefully curated benchmark that systematically tests both native realtime models and general VLMs on their ability to think and act in real time — motivated by tasks from playing games to grabbing concert tickets that require real-time interactive decisions. Results are sobering: the best model reliably completes only 36% of tasks, exposing a large gap between real-time interactive capability and offline model performance.
