Key points

  • It defines three types of hallucination: perceptual hallucination from the tokenizer, action hallucination from marginalization in the dynamics, and scene hallucination from rollout divergence.
  • MMBench2 contains 65,600 trajectories spanning 427 hours, 210 tasks, and 10 domains, together with ground-truth actions, rewards, and the simulator.
  • Coverage-aware training improves both the tokenizer and dynamics, which raises rollout PSNR by 0.88 dB.
  • Collecting only 50 curiosity-driven trajectories yields 0.325 adaptation performance on unseen tasks, which is about 90 percent of the expert or human score of 0.362.
  • The hallucination predictors show a strong negative Spearman correlation of about 0.80 with rollout ΔPSNR.
  • The analysis also compares an off-the-shelf tokenizer, Wan 2.1 VAE, with an in-domain tokenizer.
