Full listing name: PInVerify: An Offline Embodied Benchmark for Active Instance Verification
What is PInVerify?
Embodied agents have made strong progress in navigating to target objects, but reaching the goal vicinity does not guarantee that the agent has found the correct instance: subtle attribute differences (e.g., "white floral" vs. "white striped") often require close-range, multi-view inspection. We address this gap with Active Instance Verification (AIV), a task in which an agent actively selects viewpoints around a candidate object to decide whether it matches a fine-grained natural-language description. We formalize AIV as a finite-horizon decision process and introduce PInVerify, an offline embodied benchmark for AIV: 3,000 evaluation episodes across 18 object categories, delivered as multi-view captures with a 6-sector navigation topology that exposes trap views (navigable but uninformative) and unreachable sectors. As reference baselines we build a training-free pipeline and a LoRA-fine-tuned end-to-end agent around open-source multimodal large language models (MLLMs) at on-device scale ($\leq$8B parameters), with attribute decomposition, a visibility-weighted multi-view tracker, and three next-best-view (NBV) strategies. In our evaluation across Qwen3-VL (4B/8B), SenseNova-SI-1.2-InternVL3-8B, CLIP, and SigLIP2, the best MLLM-based baseline exceeds the best embedding baseline by 4.9 pp; GT-box ablations show a +3.1 pp detection gap; and we do not observe reliable gains from active viewpoint selection within the tested NBV strategies. A LoRA-fine-tuned agent (SFT+GSPO) reaches 85.6%. PInVerify aims to support further work on active, fine-grained semantic verification in embodied AI. Code: https://github.com/Avalon-S/PInVerify.
Tier C
Niche: a handful of models scored, or built by an RL vendor.
How much stands behind a tier: usage, who backs it, a confirmed line from its own site or paper, and a clear read on X. High with three of the four, medium with two, low otherwise.
- 5 models scored
- in curated RL directories (1 pt)
How we got to tier C
- Adoption: 5 models scored. Tier C.
- Not yet read on X.
- In curated RL directories: 1 point, a floor of none.
- Not yet confirmed by a line from its own site or paper.
A clear view on X moves a tier one step up or down; most entries don't move. How tiers work.
Not on the map yet: no line from its own site or paper places it in a domain.
