Video-HOCA - Physical Reasoning (Causal): leaderboard

Metric: Rubric score (0-100) by a GPT-OSS-120B judge of the structured open-ended answer (scene, anomaly, anomaly type, physical explanation) against the reference explanation on Video-HOCA's causal anomalies (relation-centred: valid entities interact in a way that violates a physical regularity); 16 uniformly sampled frames, deterministic Instruct-mode decoding (temperature 0, 1,024 tokens); higher is better. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around January 2027. 20 models tracked.
