Excited to have this out! This was a fun project that started with YingQiao and I discussing whether VLMs can do mental simulation of physics like people do, and it culminated in a new method where we prompted image generation models to simulate a series of images frame-by-frame.

Our latest on the cognitive science of LLMs! To be presented @CogSci2025 🎉
LLMs are increasingly involved in human collaborations. How do LLMs assign responsibility and reward to collaborators? Is it similar to how humans do it? 🤖🧑
