SolarWM is an open foundation for building interactive video world models, offering a reconfigurable multi‑source data engine that unifies 1.43 million clips from 10 datasets into a consistent, frame‑aligned format. It provides a backbone‑native adaptation framework that preserves native representations of models ranging from 5 B to 33 B parameters, and a three‑stage training recipe combining bidirectional adaptation, teacher‑forced autoregressive initialization, and distribution‑matching distillation. The resulting causal models can interact in real‑time over rollouts from minutes to hours, trained only on 5‑second sequences, and the project releases data, pipeline, recipes, weights, and framework for reproducible research.

Weather-Conditioned Depth Anything (DA‑W) is a new framework that enhances monocular depth estimation models, like the Depth Anything series, to perform robustly under adverse weather conditions such as fog, rain, snow, and low‑light. It achieves this by disentangling style from content: a Style Filter extracts weather‑specific embeddings from a curated mix of real and synthetic degradation data, which are then injected into the backbone via a lightweight, zero‑initialized adapter. The adapter is trained with pseudo‑label distillation and alignment, enabling a single unified model to adapt to diverse weather scenarios while preserving its generalization on clean data, and it achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance with an average 3.7% improvement in AbsRel on weather benchmarks.
Reliable perception under diverse weather conditions remains a major challenge for autonomous driving systems. A common strategy to improve robustness is either to synthesize adverse weather conditions for training perception models or to apply weather-removal techniques to recover clean inputs.

arXiv:2607. 18367v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Unlike conventional video game development, which relies on labor-intensive pipelines for asset production, animation, physics, and programming, video world models generate interactive environments from user inputs instantly.
World in World introduces a training‑free, inference‑time interface that transforms diverse control signals—such as source‑video observations, target‑view projections, geometry renderings, and retrieved states—into camera‑ and time‑labelled visual states. These states are processed by a frozen causal video model’s self‑attention, enabling tasks like camera‑controlled rerendering, long‑horizon revisiting, and human‑motion transfer without additional training. The method employs a correspondence router and evidence‑wise attention to align token identities and regulate auxiliary channel contributions during a single denoising pass.

As autonomous vehicle capabilities advance, the safe evaluation of driving policies in long-tail scenarios remains a critical bottleneck. In closed-loop simulation, the driving policy model actively interacts with the environment, where its actions dynamically update the simulator state and directly influence the next set of generated sensor observations.
