WorldProbe: When Video World Models Fall Apart under Long-Horizon Spatial Exploration

WorldProbe is a new diagnostic benchmark that tests video world models by letting a goal‑conditioned multimodal agent adapt camera actions online during generation, creating 164 test cases across four probing families. The benchmark evaluates 10 state‑of‑the‑art models over more than 1,600 rollouts, totaling roughly 800 minutes and horizons up to 180 seconds, revealing that while local visual and content quality can be maintained for longer, long‑range memory and evolution remain weak. The study highlights a gap between locally stable generation and persistent world consistency that existing short‑interaction benchmarks miss.

Momentum: Persistent Dynamics for Video World Models

Momentum introduces a two-stage pipeline for video world models that uses synchronized multi-camera rigs to represent evolving scenes. The WorldUpdate stage generates shared reference-camera videos as a memory of scene dynamics, while WorldInteract grounds target camera video generation in this memory, ensuring moving objects remain represented outside the field of view. Experiments on CARLA street scenes show a 126.2% improvement in dynamic scene consistency over static image conditioning.
