Drive-HWM: Hierarchical World Models for Dynamic-Latent Guided Autonomous Driving

Drive‑HWM introduces a hierarchical slow‑fast world modeling framework for autonomous driving. The slow model predicts multi‑step future representations, while the fast model jointly predicts the next frame and immediate action using a lightweight multimodal backbone and an autoregressive expert. Dynamic‑Aware Latents, learned through optical‑flow prediction, explicitly capture motion dynamics, and experiments on NAVSIM v1 and v2 show strong driving performance with validated ablation studies.

CameraEditor: Camera-Controlled Image Editing via Video-Prior Sequential Modeling

CameraEditor is a new framework that transforms camera-controlled image editing into a temporal sequence prediction problem. By using video diffusion models, it incorporates a geometric perception module and dynamic reference routing to create precise visual references through dynamic panorama cropping. The method also inserts intermediate transition frames to handle large perspective shifts, maintaining content identity and spatial coherence, and is evaluated on a dataset of 5,760 instances with a benchmark of 462 test cases, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance.

High-Throughput Generative Video Super-Resolution on a Single Consumer GPU

The paper presents a zero‑shot framework for high‑throughput generative video super‑resolution (VSR) that operates on a single high‑end consumer GPU without retraining. It decouples spatial upscaling, handled by a time‑distilled one‑step diffusion backbone, from temporal stabilization, achieved with a lightweight pretrained flow‑based interpolator. A resolution‑aware hybrid attention scheme replaces high‑resolution global attention with neighborhood attention to improve scalability, achieving up to ~32 FPS at 720p and a 44% speedup at 4K on an NVIDIA RTX 4090, while maintaining competitive perceptual quality and temporal consistency on standard VSR benchmarks.

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.

Object Concepts Emerge from Motion

The paper introduces a biologically inspired framework that learns object‑centric visual representations from raw videos without human annotations or camera calibration. By using motion boundaries detected via optical flow and clustering to create pseudo‑instance masks, the method supervises a single‑image encoder with pixel‑level pairwise metric learning. Training on 195 million pseudo‑labeled frames and expanding to 421 million frames through Motion‑Verified Self‑Training, the approach yields Swin‑based encoders that outperform or match supervised and self‑supervised baselines on tasks such as monocular depth estimation, 3D object detection, 3D occupancy prediction, and end‑to‑end planning.

V-RAE: Rethinking Video Latent Spaces for Generation

Latent video generation relies on autoencoders to define a compact space in which generative models operate. Although video autoencoder architectures have evolved substantially, their latent spaces are still optimized primarily for pixel-level reconstruction and provide limited high-level semantic organization.
