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.
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.
World in World introduces a training‑free, inference‑time interface that transforms diverse control signals—such as source‑video observations, target‑view projections, geometry renderings, and retrieved states—into camera‑ and time‑labelled visual states. These states are processed by a frozen causal video model’s self‑attention, enabling tasks like camera‑controlled rerendering, long‑horizon revisiting, and human‑motion transfer without additional training. The method employs a correspondence router and evidence‑wise attention to align token identities and regulate auxiliary channel contributions during a single denoising pass.
arXiv:2607. 18367v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Unlike conventional video game development, which relies on labor-intensive pipelines for asset production, animation, physics, and programming, video world models generate interactive environments from user inputs instantly.
World in World introduces a training‑free inference interface that lets users control autoregressive video world models from new viewpoints. By converting diverse control signals—source‑video observations, target‑view projections, geometry renderings, and retrieved states—into camera‑ and time‑labelled visual tokens, the system uses a frozen causal video model’s self‑attention to maintain synchronization, complete unseen regions, and recover past appearances. The method supports camera‑controlled rerendering, long‑horizon revisiting, and human‑motion transfer while preserving perceptual quality, temporal consistency, and camera‑following accuracy.

The paper introduces Code World Model, a framework that decouples world evolution from visual rendering by using a coding agent as a world brain. The agent reasons about events, generates executable code to maintain persistent state, and a proxy representation links this state to a video model for high‑fidelity visual output. Experiments with MiniMax‑H3 show that the system can follow proxy‑based spatiotemporal specifications while preserving rich visual dynamics, illustrating a new approach to open‑ended world modeling.
Despite rapid progress in interactive world models (IWMs), existing benchmarks evaluate action following only at trajectory level and ignore memory and interaction physics. We introduce WorldOdysseyBench, an open-world benchmark for long-horizon stability across four dimensions, each with tailored innovations: (i) Action: per-frame action metric bypassing cross-model semantic scale disparity and exposing failures hidden by trajectory; (ii) Vision: segment-based drift metric capturing non-monotonic mid-sequence collapse missed by start-vs-end comparisons; (iii) Physics: controllability-gated evaluation over mechanics, optics, and 3D consistency, scoring plausibility under faithful action execution; (iv) Memory: action-decoupled protocol evaluating scene memory via transition-localized 3D point-cloud reconstruction and subject memory via tracking-plus-VLM reasoning.
