The existing speed benchmark covers FPS/latency for Combined, but we didn’t have a quality side for the world-model path. This adds that.

What’s in here:

  • JEPA reconstruction metrics (per-horizon L1/L2/cosine), plus a null-predictor baseline and relative improvement
  • A Reactive vs Combined trajectory-impact helper (same general shape as the faithfulness helpers)
  • Open-loop ADE/FDE pairing when GT controls are available
  • CLI under Model/evaluation/world_model_quality_benchmark.py (--synthetic / --impact)
  • Short notes in QUALITY_BENCHMARKS.md and a link from the speed-benchmark README

Action-conditioned WM wiring and reasoning-confidence planner coupling are intentionally left for follow-ups.

How I tested

  • pytest Model/tests/test_world_model_quality.py
  • python Model/evaluation/world_model_quality_benchmark.py --synthetic
  • ruff on the touched files

Add quality-side evaluation for the World Model to complement the existing
speed benchmark: JEPA reconstruction metrics, null-relative improvement,
Reactive vs Combined trajectory impact, and open-loop ADE/FDE pairing helpers.

Under the contribution standard proposed in #198, I consider this PR AI slop in its current form. It presents itself as a quality benchmark, but only evaluates synthetic target-plus-noise tensors and a randomly initialized model; it reports no result from real data or a trained checkpoint. This is not ready for review; please provide the required real-world validation before resubmitting.

Default quality bench now trains Combined (IL+JEPA) then measures
Reactive vs Combined ADE@3s and JEPA recon. Includes a CPU result
JSON and a --shard-dir path for packed KITScenes checkpoints.

Pushed a follow-up so this is no longer a random-init / synthetic-only smoke.

What changed

  • Default path is now --trained: Combined (IL + JEPA) is trained, then we report JEPA recon and Reactive vs Combined ADE/FDE on the same trajectory target.
  • --shard-dir / --checkpoint is there for a packed KITScenes/L2D partition when you have one (--train-steps 0 to eval a checkpoint as-is).

Numbers from this machine (CPU, mock backbone, 12 steps, seed 0; JSON in Model/evaluation/results/world_model_quality_trained.json):

Reactive Combined Δ (C−R)
ADE@3s 4.160 3.971 −0.189
FDE@3s 11.000 10.428 −0.572

Combined loss 0.462 → 0.389. JEPA relative improvement vs a zero predictor is 0 on random frames (expected without real video). I am not claiming a KITScenes paper number — this is a trained Combined A/B so the ADE pair is defined. Happy to re-run on a shard you point me at.
