Puffin-World is a unified multimodal architecture that integrates physical understanding, spatial simulation, and 3D world generation without external offline modules. It jointly models physics, geometry, and appearance as native world states and uses a unified Omni-Camera representation to support diverse tasks and flexible motions. The framework also propagates physical dynamics across future frames, couples appearance and geometry in a single generative process, and scales to complex scenarios with the Puffin-16M dataset of 15 million vision‑language‑camera triplets and 1 million trajectories.

Synthesizing human motion from textual descriptions is essential for immersive digital applications, yet existing methods face a persistent trade-off between semantic fidelity and physical realism. Large language model (LLM)-based approaches can interpret diverse open-vocabulary instructions and compose high-level action plans, but they often generate motions that violate physical constraints.

PhysBrain 1.5 is a unified vision‑language model that learns to understand physical environments, generate actions, and predict future states by encoding language, end‑effector motion, and dense visual targets as discrete sequences and training them with autoregressive next‑token prediction. The model is pre‑trained on human interaction videos and fine‑tuned on human demonstrations, robot trajectories, and simulated experience, achieving an average score of 72.5 across 28 embodied understanding benchmarks and outperforming other open‑source models on 14 of them. It also demonstrates the ability to produce end‑effector trajectories and predict future scenes with spatially aligned RGB, depth, and robot‑mask outputs.

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.
