The paper introduces the Geometry‑Native Autoencoder (GAE), a compact latent space that can be decoded into appearance, depth, camera parameters, and point maps, enabling 3D‑consistent world generation. By reparameterizing a geometry foundation model’s features, GAE replaces traditional appearance‑centric latents and improves visual quality and 3D coherence, achieving significant reductions in FVD and camera‑trajectory error on benchmark datasets. The work demonstrates that a geometry‑native latent space can serve as a shared interface between perception and generation models.

Current VLM evaluations often conflate language priors with genuine spatial reasoning. To address this, we introduce CRISP, a novel structural-diagnostic evaluation paradigm that assesses visual spatial intelligence through consistency, the alignment between implicit perception and explicit reasoning.

arXiv:2606. 17536v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative world models for autonomous driving face two unresolved tensions: heterogeneous control injection, where free-form language, HD-maps, trajectories, and camera poses reside in incompatible representational spaces, and post-hoc cross-view fusion, where per-camera latents fail to encode global 3-D geometry.

Vision-language-action (VLA) models aim to map multimodal inputs to robot actions. However, most existing approaches struggle to cover complex dynamic scenarios due to treating all visual tokens uniformly and reasoning with human-selected factors, which lack mechanisms to emphasize task-critical evidence and ignore underlying factors.

arXiv:2607. 12382v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: How can an agent build a structured map of its world from nothing but an ongoing sequence of raw sensory input and its own movements, especially when natural variation means exact sensory patterns rarely repeat?
