PAWBench: How Far Are We from Probabilistically Aligned World Modeling?

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 27, 2026 · UTC

Recent video generation models are increasingly framed as world models. Many physical processes can unfold in more than one valid way. Therefore, a world model should reproduce not only a plausible trajectory, but also the distribution of possible behaviors under the same initial observation and action. We call this distribution-level requirement probabilistic alignment. However, existing evaluations largely assess individual-video plausibility and do not test whether repeated generations recover the correct distribution. This raises a central question: how far are current video generators fro
