VLMs fail to identify visual preconditions or apply physical laws in kinematic physics tasks, as shown by new FACT diagnostics and NICE calibration methods evaluated on six state-of-the-art models.
AlloSpatial adds structured allocentric priors and a harness for tool-use and arbitration to improve spatial reasoning in foundation models, with 5-18% gains on VSI-Bench and MindCube in training-free settings and further gains after RL internalization.
