You can try to tease solutions to physics problems out of video models, with their better spatial reasoning, but the answer has to be a video, of course [1].

I suspect we'll see significant improvements when someone releases a multimodal video/world model, rather than the current multimodal image models (that call out to video models or summarize a sequence of stills without a true time/3d aspect).
