AgentGarten: Code Worlds for Evolving Agents

AgentGarten is a framework that links simulators and game engines with a shared neural renderer to create real‑time interactive virtual worlds. It uses a pretrained video model adapted to geometry conditions, refined with Adversarial Forcing, to produce realistic visual observations while maintaining consistent state and rules. The system enables agents to learn efficiently—achieving comparable performance in only four training rounds versus millions in traditional reinforcement learning—by distilling experience into playbooks that successive agents can inherit and improve upon.

Code Plans, Diffusion Renders: Open-Ended Generative World Modeling

The paper introduces CoDeR, a new paradigm for world modeling that explicitly builds an executable world using code rather than relying solely on visual observations. CoDeR translates high‑level concepts into structured world rules, executable dynamics, and perceptual observations through five complementary roles, enabling long‑term memory, open‑ended interactions, autonomous world evolution, and persistent multi‑agent dynamics. Experiments show that this framework extends the capabilities of existing world models and achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance across multiple evaluation settings.

WorldProbe: When Video World Models Fall Apart under Long-Horizon Spatial Exploration

WorldProbe is a new diagnostic benchmark that tests video world models by letting a goal‑conditioned multimodal agent adapt camera actions online during generation, creating 164 test cases across four probing families. The benchmark evaluates 10 state‑of‑the‑art models over more than 1,600 rollouts, totaling roughly 800 minutes and horizons up to 180 seconds, revealing that while local visual and content quality can be maintained for longer, long‑range memory and evolution remain weak. The study highlights a gap between locally stable generation and persistent world consistency that existing short‑interaction benchmarks miss.

World Observer: Joint Actor-Observer Generation for Persistent World Modeling

World Observer introduces a joint actor‑observer framework for persistent world modeling, decoupling the agent’s view from panoramic observers that track regions outside the actor’s field of view. By warping from a shared panoramic source and using an Observer Sink for high‑resolution references, the method maintains accurate object states and dynamics even when they leave and re‑enter the actor’s view. The approach is evaluated with new world‑space metrics and a benchmark across real and synthetic scenes, showing improved out‑of‑view dynamics while preserving visual fidelity, camera control, and 3D adherence.

BoxWorld: Let World Engines Control and Video Generators Render

BoxWorld introduces a novel approach to real‑time interactive video worlds by decoupling interaction reasoning from generative rendering. A coding agent builds a Box World Engine that applies user‑defined rules to determine interaction outcomes and exposes object states via a lightweight interface of layout boxes, persistent attributes, and dynamic status variables. A separate Box‑State Generative Renderer then autoregressively renders these evolving states into video, enabling online control over object motion, state switches, and conditional events. The system employs a three‑stage training strategy—learning object grounding from open‑domain videos, state transitions from gameplay videos, and rollout distillation on self‑generated histories—to handle real‑time state updates while maintaining visual coherence. BoxWorld outperforms end‑to‑end world models and remains competitive across multiple public benchmarks, with a new PairedStateBench benchmark for fine‑grained interaction control.
