Training Object Permanence in World Models
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.28654v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Object permanence and solidity are hallmarks of human cognitive priors. Recent studies show that video generation models, a paradigmatic class of current world models, have begun to show emerged reasoning abilities, making them ideal candidates for building human-like physical intelligence. Do video models have emerged object permanence in them? If not, could we train them with a core-cognition inspired dataset? We introduce WROP (World Reasoning with Object Permanence), a data infrastructure of 150 hand-designed cognitive science inspired tasks,

Why it matters
“Training Object Permanence in World Models” exposes the compute, energy and supply-chain layer behind model competition. Capacity shifts can influence model costs, service availability and the ability of smaller companies to compete.
