The Challenge of Soundness
Our findings reveal that none of the tested generative models achieved perfect soundness, meaning they all exhibited inconsistencies with the true world model. This underscores a fundamental challenge in building truly reliable AI systems. Even models with high next-token prediction accuracy faltered under adversarial conditions, demonstrating the limitations of surface-level metrics.

Dataset Quality and Training Objectives
We observed significant differences based on dataset choice and training objectives. Models trained on larger, more diverse datasets, especially with the probability distribution (PD) objective, showed improved robustness. However, even these models were not entirely sound, particularly when evaluated with out-of-distribution warmup sequences. This indicates that while better data and training can help, they don't solve the core soundness problem entirely.
| Adversary Type | Key Characteristic | Effectiveness |
|---|---|---|
| IMO (Illegal Move Oracle) | Maximizes opponent's invalid move probability |
|
| BSO (Board State Oracle) | Maximizes board state prediction error |
|
| AD (Adversarial Detours) | Lowest conditional probability moves |

Case Study: Chess Engine Models
We trained various models on high-quality chess games (Stockfish-8M, Lichess-16M) and random game datasets. Stockfish-8M models showed higher initial soundness but were still vulnerable. The Lichess-16M models, despite being trained on human games, also failed under strong adversarial attacks, particularly when facing out-of-distribution sequences. This suggests emergent world models are often fragmented.
- Curated vs. Random Data: Random datasets sometimes outperformed curated ones for true world model learning under NT objective.
- Overfitting Sequence Length: Many models exhibited significant drops in reliability past training sequence lengths, suggesting a lack of abstract state representation.
- Board State Probes: Linear probes showed a weak causal link to next-token prediction, questioning their role in causal understanding of internal states.
