arXiv:2608. 15555v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video models are increasingly used to predict what happens next in a scene, yet the metrics commonly used to compare their outputs say little about whether the predicted objects move correctly.

arXiv:2607. 25321v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Video diffusion models generate visually compelling content but routinely violate elementary physics when the subject involves fluids: liquid columns break apart in mid-air, container water levels fail to rise as liquid is poured in, and splashes disperse without regard to momentum or gravity.
PhysPlan is a training‑free guidance framework that enhances video diffusion models by incorporating physical awareness through agentic physics simulation. It uses a vision‑language model to generate a Chain‑of‑Visual‑Thought representation of kinematic trajectories and 3D depth, which then drives an object‑centric test‑time optimization that isolates kinematic changes and locks the passive environment. The framework also employs Kinetic Intensity Profiling to adapt hyperparameters to varying physical deformations, and demonstrates superior performance on PhyGenBench and Physics‑IQ benchmarks compared to existing VDM baselines.
