Held-out physics-consistency note on CogVideoX-5b-I2V (static_hover) — seeking public seed feedback

Author: DivineDemonCreated Jul 19, 2026Updated Jul 19, 2026

Hi maintainers —

Sharing a small independent held-out result on THUDM/CogVideoX-5b-I2V (Physics-IQ-style ball-and-block-fall prompts), for transparency:

  • Protocol frozen before generation (VIDEO_CHECKS + static_hover)
  • n=9 (seeds 2–4 × left/center/right): flag rate 1.000, Wilson 95% CI [0.701, 1.000], all via static_hover
  • Discovery n=6 (seeds 0–1) was post-hoc and is labeled separately
  • Real Physics-IQ footage stays quiet under the same profile
  • Explicit limit: one failure mode / scene family — not a general quality ranking

Questions for anyone who has looked at CogVideoX physics failures:

  1. Do you see freeze/hover as a known failure mode on fall/release scenes?
  2. Are there public seeds / scenarios you’d recommend as harder controls?
  3. Permission to score additional public demo clips under the same frozen detectors (aggregate-only publication)?

Happy to correct anything misstated about the model card / recommended settings. Thanks for releasing the weights.
