  • AsgardBench -- Evaluating Visually Grounded Interactive Planning Under Minimal Feedback

    Andrea Tupini, Lars Lidén, Reuben Tan, Yu Wang, Jianfeng Gao

    arXiv · 2026

    The benchmark zeroes in on a narrower question: can a model actually use what it sees to adapt a plan when things do not go as expected, revealing weaknesses in visual grounding and state tracking that ultimately undermine interactive planning.
