תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2610.08560v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Streaming video-language models must decide not only what to answer, but whether the evidence needed for the current question has arrived. Existing systems learn that decision as a separate trigger; we ask whether an unmodified model already computes it. We show that frozen VideoLLMs carry a linearly readable evidence-readiness signal, labelled from timestamped evidence rather than from model output. It decodes in all seven models of a shared byte-identical evaluation (AUROC 0.733-0.905 under the strictest not-ready sampling, where a fitted clock is near chance), and a probe fitted without any of a benchmark family's footage still reads that family. It is question-conditioned: on byte-identical windows, changing only the question reverses t
