LinMorph proposes a learnable softmax‑to‑linear weight transformation for Video Diffusion Transformers, replacing traditional random initialization or manual weight reuse. By learning a shared morphism that maps each target Gated DeltaNet parameter to a combination of pretrained query, key, value, and output projections, it generates layer‑specific initializations that preserve pretrained knowledge. The method enables faster recovery and higher generation quality across pretrained Video DiTs, especially when applied to larger video scales after training on short, low‑resolution clips.

ES‑VP introduces Energy‑Shaped Visual Prompting, a method that generates image‑specific prompts through low‑rank initialization and energy‑guided dynamic adaptation. It achieves higher performance than existing single‑prompt and diverse‑prompt approaches while using far fewer parameters. Experiments on five architectures and fifteen datasets show consistent superiority, including a 2.6% accuracy gain over DAM‑VP on CLIP with 590× fewer prompt parameters.

SolarWM is an open foundation for building interactive video world models, offering a reconfigurable multi‑source data engine that unifies 1.43 million clips from 10 datasets into a consistent, frame‑aligned format. It provides a backbone‑native adaptation framework that preserves native representations of models ranging from 5 B to 33 B parameters, and a three‑stage training recipe combining bidirectional adaptation, teacher‑forced autoregressive initialization, and distribution‑matching distillation. The resulting causal models can interact in real‑time over rollouts from minutes to hours, trained only on 5‑second sequences, and the project releases data, pipeline, recipes, weights, and framework for reproducible research.

VINCIE‑NExT is a unified framework that transfers image editing capabilities to video editing by using in‑context visual demonstrations. It decomposes video editing into a chain of sub‑tasks (Video → Image → Image → Video), routing editing intent through the image domain and enabling joint training from heterogeneous image and video data under a single diffusion objective. The method introduces a novel position encoding to link image demonstrations and video frames, allowing pixel‑faithful appearance propagation, and supports test‑time scaling through progressive diffusion stages.

The paper introduces GeoNeXt, a framework that repurposes pretrained video generative models for geometry estimation by framing it as a next‑frame prediction task. Unlike prior methods that either train separate depth/normal models or fine‑tune image diffusion backbones, GeoNeXt jointly models images and geometric targets, leveraging the structured knowledge of video models for more data‑efficient learning. Experiments show zero‑shot monocular depth and surface normal estimation that outperforms existing generative approaches and rivals discriminative state‑of‑the‑art methods while using far less training data.

C-LoRA introduces a continual learning approach for pre‑trained visual models that uses a single shared Low‑Rank Adaptation (LoRA) adapter. It employs a learnable routing matrix split into a stability component (R_base) and a plasticity component (R_delta) to balance preserving past knowledge and adapting to new tasks. This design eliminates the need for expanding modules or complex inference fusion while maintaining competitive performance on multiple benchmarks.
