Abstract
PhysMent introduces a benchmark for evaluating LLM physical reasoning through interactive experimentation with a physics simulator.
Reality Card
Core Claim
PhysMent reveals that current LLMs struggle with quantitative tasks requiring adaptive multi-step tool use, achieving less than 30% accuracy on the hardest single-concept category.
Method / Result
Models achieved up to 80% accuracy on qualitative single-concept tasks but fell below 30% on the hardest quantitative tasks.
Limitations
Failures are attributed to premature answer submission, inefficient exploration, and inconsistent grounding in simulator feedback.
