FastBench: Can Streaming VLMs Perceive High-Dynamic Real-World Streams?
arXiv cs.AI · Published · 3 min read

- What happened
- FastBench benchmark evaluates streaming video language models on high-dynamic real-world video understanding with 306 QA pairs across eight domains.
- Why it matters
- Matters for engineers building video AI systems that must process continuous streams with limited context while detecting fast-moving events.
- Watch out
- Current models perform poorly; even the best scores only 50.7%. Performance gains from denser sampling plateau quickly as historical context gets compressed.

- World-Model Simulation Planning
- Agentic Context Engineering (Evolving Playbook)
Each one covers how the technique works, when it earns its cost, and where it breaks.
