WorldSimBench (arXiv v1, Oct 2024) sorts predictive models into stages S0-S3 by output modality and calls S3 'actionable video' models World Simulators. It evaluates them two ways: Explicit Perceptual Evaluation (a LoRA-tuned video LLM scores generated clips on scenario-specific dimensions, trained on a 35,701-video human-feedback set) and Implicit Manipulative Evaluation (generated video is converted to actions by video-to-action models and run closed-loop in Minecraft/MineRL, CARLA and CALVIN). It evaluated eight fine-tuned open video generators; no code, dataset or evaluator release could be located (homepage buttons have no links; GitHub and Hugging Face name searches found nothing).

Curator qualifications: All 8 excerpts located; S0-S3 staging and two evaluation modes match v1.

Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
