VideoCoCo: Code-as-CoT for Physically-Consistent Video Generation via an Agentic Dual-Engine System

arXiv:2607. 27380v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Text-to-video models have achieved remarkable visual quality, yet they still struggle to generate physically consistent dynamics because the temporal evolution of a scene must be inferred implicitly from a highly compressed text prompt.

Building Pretraining Data for World Models: An Unreal Engine-Based Pipeline for Action-Conditioned Video Generation

The paper introduces a large‑scale synthetic data pipeline built on Unreal Engine to generate action‑conditioned, multi‑view video for training world models. The system operates in two stages: real‑time physics simulation records trajectories, then offline rendering produces high‑quality video. It includes a distributed production framework with task partitioning, automated filtering, and a 25‑server cluster, yielding over 2,600 hours of 1080p and 6,000 hours of 720p video from 429 levels and 40 characters.

BoxWorld: Let World Engines Control and Video Generators Render

BoxWorld introduces a novel approach to real‑time interactive video worlds by decoupling interaction reasoning from generative rendering. A coding agent builds a Box World Engine that applies user‑defined rules to determine interaction outcomes and exposes object states via a lightweight interface of layout boxes, persistent attributes, and dynamic status variables. A separate Box‑State Generative Renderer then autoregressively renders these evolving states into video, enabling online control over object motion, state switches, and conditional events. The system employs a three‑stage training strategy—learning object grounding from open‑domain videos, state transitions from gameplay videos, and rollout distillation on self‑generated histories—to handle real‑time state updates while maintaining visual coherence. BoxWorld outperforms end‑to‑end world models and remains competitive across multiple public benchmarks, with a new PairedStateBench benchmark for fine‑grained interaction control.
