Grid-Bench: Can LLMs Predict How Discrete Worlds Change?

We introduce Grid-Bench, an executable benchmark in which eight families of operations transform discrete worlds represented as two-, three-, and four-dimensional grids.

Key points

  • Spatial instructions describe how to move objects, transform regions, or modify their surroundings.
  • When several operations are applied in sequence, each acts on a configuration shaped by earlier changes.
  • How accurately can large language models (LLMs) predict the resulting spatial state?
  • Given an initial grid, explicit rules, and an event history expressed as text, a model predicts the complete final grid.
