PhyEvolve is a multi‑agent framework that improves physics‑aware video generation by enhancing natural‑language prompts through structured state‑evolution planning. It employs three agents—a Director, a Physical Evolver, and a Composer—to ground scenes, identify physical mechanisms, and construct causally linked state transitions that guide existing generators without retraining. Experiments on four major benchmarks show that PhyEvolve outperforms the prior agentic baseline by an average of 7.9 percentage points, demonstrating that explicit causal planning boosts physical consistency and state continuity in generated videos.

arXiv:2607. 10190v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video-language models (VLMs) have achieved remarkable performance on video understanding and visual question answering, yet they remain unreliable in reasoning about physical plausibility, where understanding object interactions, causal dynamics, and fundamental physical principles is essential.

PhyEvolve is a multi-agent framework that improves physics-aware video generation by enhancing natural-language prompts through structured state-evolution planning. It employs three agents—a Director, a Physical Evolver, and a Composer—to ground scenes, identify physical mechanisms, and construct causally linked state transitions that guide video generation. The method works with existing generators via prompt replacement and achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance, outperforming the prior agentic baseline by an average of 7.9 percentage points on four major benchmarks.

The paper introduces Physically Plausible Video Generation (PPVG), a method that generates videos consistent with physical laws by treating physical evolution as a chain of causally connected events. It employs three modules: Physics-driven Event Chain Reasoning to decompose phenomena into scene-graph events, Transition-aware Routed Keyframe Conditioning to guide keyframe synthesis for smooth transitions, and Physics-injected Contrastive Semantic Guidance to steer generation toward plausible dynamics. Experiments on multiple physics benchmarks show improved physical plausibility compared to prior approaches.
