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.

arXiv:2606. 10135v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transitioning bidirectional video diffusion models into an autoregressive paradigm improves the interactivity of video world models, but existing causal pipelines need many stages (control fine-tuning, autoregressive training, causal initialization, few-step distillation) and still trail bidirectional models in quality due to error accumulation.

StateCraft introduces a new architecture that separates a persistent, updatable abstract state from the visual state in video world models. By pairing a language model with a video diffusion model, it tracks entity changes over time and conditions visual generation on this abstract state. The approach is evaluated on generative interfaces and a new benchmark, showing improved generation quality, memory usage, and controllability, while enabling direct editing of unseen states and extending to spatial 3D environments.
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.

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.
