Title: BilliardPhys-Bench: Benchmarking Physical Reasoning and Visual Dynamics of Multimodal LLMs

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.30900v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current multimodal models handle static image recognition well, but intuitive physical reasoning remains a weakness. Predicting how objects will move and interact from a single image is still difficult for these systems. We present BilliardPhys-Bench, a benchmark for physical reasoning in synthetic billiards environments. Its procedural engine generates randomized scenarios with friction and elastic collisions. The benchmark tests three abilities:
