StreamEval: Evaluating Interactive Streaming Video Generation Models

arXiv 2026 24.6 benchmark

TLDR

Introduces StreamEval, a benchmark for interactive streaming video generation, evaluating 37 models across five tasks and four dimensions, finding request execution remains challenging.

Reasoning

Strengths include a comprehensive benchmark with scripted test cases, diverse models, and multi-dimensional metrics, revealing a gap between visual quality and instruction following. Weaknesses are that the abstract reports low absolute scores without detailing method-specific baselines or limitations beyond leaderboard results.

Read-first score

Read-first score 24.6, weighted from topical fit, citation, graph, method, reproducibility, and recency signals. Original total remains 19.

Recency 5%

100

Uses a gentle age decay so recent papers surface without erasing older foundations. 2026

Methodology quality 15%

Screens visible abstract and analysis fields for experiment, dataset, baseline, metric, and limitation evidence. markers=benchmark,evaluation,metric

Reproducibility 15%

Screens links and visible text for paper, code, dataset, artifact, and repository signals. pdf=True; code=False; dataset=False; markers=none

Topical relevance 25%

27.1

Uses existing LLM keyword relevance scores normalized to 0-100. world model,world simulator,generative world model,interactive world model,video world model,world dynamics prediction,model-based reinforcement learning world model

Graph prestige 15%

5.7

PageRank-style prestige over the local citation graph built from available OpenAlex references. local_pagerank=0.0016

Citation impact 15%

Uses OpenAlex-shaped citation metadata as a bibliometric attention signal, separate from paper quality. cited_by_count=0

Citation velocity 10%

Citation velocity estimates citations per publication-year to reduce old-paper bias. velocity=0.00
