The Low Frequency Trap: Video Language Models Fail at Simple Event Bookkeeping

This isolates a specific, reproducible failure mode in video understanding models that broad benchmarks tend to hide, useful for anyone evaluating video LLMs for surveillance, sports analytics, or safety monitoring tasks that depend on counting discrete events. The gap between counting slow state changes and fast transient events is the kind of thing that will bite production systems quietly. Worth checking your own video model's behavior on high-frequency events before trusting it.
