StateTrackBench — Executable State

Locating failures in message interpretation and evolving-state maintenance.

StateTrackBench: Executable Trajectories for Locating Where Language Models Lose Track of Evolving State. Under review at ICLR 2027.

  • Pair messages with typed intended updates and deterministic transitions.
  • Replay gold state after each message to identify the first divergence.
  • Separate parsing errors from state-execution and serialization errors.
  • Use replay-time checks to localize failures and support targeted re-parsing.

The benchmark exposes incorrect internal state even when a final answer happens to be correct.
