short_description: Do LLMs Build Spatial World Models? Evidence from Maze Tasks

SpatialBench

Evaluation platform for "Do LLMs Build Spatial World Models? Evidence from Grid-World Maze Tasks" (ICLR 2026 Workshop).

Three tasks probe whether LLMs construct internal spatial representations:

Task	Type	Description
Maze Navigation	Planning	Find shortest path from start to goal
Sequential Point Reuse	Reasoning	Q3 = Q0 — do models reuse earlier computation?
Compositional Distance	Reasoning	Compose corner→center distances for Q2

Models evaluated: Gemini 2.5 Flash, GPT-5 Mini, Claude Haiku 4.5, DeepSeek Chat.
