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.

WorldMind is a decoupled framework for state-aware NPC behavior in game world models, separating interactive world modeling into four layers: Understanding, Decision, Control, and Generation. It constructs a compact state from generated frames, reasons over it to plan NPC actions, translates actions into temporally aligned conditions, and synthesizes visual outcomes. Experiments on the newly introduced BOSS-140K dataset show that WorldMind achieves more tactically appropriate and coherent NPC behavior than baseline models in about 70% of pairwise comparisons.

Multi-agent interactive world models should not only generate consistent observations, but also maintain world states that persist across agents and evolve across views. Existing autoregressive video diffusion pipelines carry forward observation history as conditioning context, which makes shared state difficult to maintain in multi-agent and multi-view settings.
arXiv:2603. 02697v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper presents ShareVerse, a video generation framework enabling multi-agent shared world modeling, addressing the gap in existing works that lack support for unified shared world construction with multi-agent interaction.

World models must learn the joint dynamics of states, actions, events, and observations, yet existing video, robotics, and simulation datasets usually capture only part of this structure. We introduce CG-World, a large-scale world-state dataset and protocol derived from industrial computer graphics production pipelines.
