arXiv:2603. 03485v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent video diffusion models have achieved impressive capabilities as large-scale generative world models.
Recent advances in image-to-video generation have improved visual realism, making physically grounded and controllable dynamics an important step toward future world simulation. Current models often generate plausible motion, but it is not reliably governed by explicit physical causes, and instance-level constraints can leak or become entangled in multi-object interactions.
4D generation synthesizes dynamic 3D scenes from conditions such as text or images. Existing methods either reconstruct generated RGB videos with a separate 4D model or adapt a particular video generator to predict geometry directly.
arXiv:2606. 28128v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video generation models have emerged as a promising paradigm for embodied world simulation.
Real-world spatial intelligence requires agents to understand scenes from continuous video streams, where objects move, persist, disappear, and reappear over time. While recent spatial foundation models have enabled generalizable feed-forward 3D reconstruction, most streaming methods remain geometry-centric and lack temporally consistent object-level understanding.
arXiv:2604. 09877v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: At the intersection of computer vision and robotic perception, 4D reconstruction of dynamic scenes connects low-level geometric sensing with high-level semantic understanding.
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.
arXiv:2606. 05328v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern video diffusion models generate increasingly realistic and temporally coherent videos, motivating their use as candidate world simulators.
arXiv:2510. 08073v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: AI-generated videos have achieved near-perfect visual realism (e.
arXiv:2607. 27036v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video diffusion-based world models enable long autoregressive video generation for robotics, autonomous driving and simulation tasks, yet sliding-window autoregressive inference suffers from severe error accumulation that degrades frame quality over time.
arXiv:2607. 06856v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prior work suggests that diffusion representations capture low-level geometry but struggle with high-level semantics.
World Action Models (WAMs) are able to leverage pretrained video generators for both world modeling and action prediction. However, directly leveraging such video generators for control raises a new challenge: how to represent actions in a suitable form that aligns with pretrained video generators while carrying enough motion cues for accurate control.
arXiv:2606. 07687v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video world models are increasingly used to provide predictive visual representations, yet it remains unclear which pretraining signals induce action-relevant structure in their latent spaces.
