SplashSplat introduces a new benchmark of 20 real-world splashing liquid scenes captured with seven synchronized 4K cameras at 60 fps, providing per-view liquid and container masks and fixed evaluation splits. The method reconstructs per‑frame liquid signed distance fields (SDFs) from these masks, fuses them into a coarse velocity field, and uses Lagrangian carriers to generate differentiable local Gaussian representations for rendering. SplashSplat outperforms existing dynamic Gaussian splatting techniques on both real and synthetic data, offering more physically plausible motion, lower training cost, and enabling temporal interpolation and style transfer without re‑optimization.

World Action Models (WAMs) are able to leverage pretrained video generators for both world modeling and action prediction. However, directly leveraging such video generators for control raises a new challenge: how to represent actions in a suitable form that aligns with pretrained video generators while carrying enough motion cues for accurate control.
The paper introduces GVCC, a zero‑shot video compression framework that uses a pretrained generative video model as the decoder. GVCC transforms deterministic rectified‑flow samplers into stochastic processes, enabling the transmission of compressed information through per‑step stochastic innovations. The authors evaluate three GVCC variants—Text‑to‑Video, Image‑to‑Video, and First‑Last‑Frame‑to‑Video—on the UVG dataset, reporting perceptual, fidelity, and temporal metrics without claiming global rate‑distortion gains.

arXiv:2606. 14732v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autoregressive video diffusion models enable streaming generation but often degrade over long rollouts: static scene layouts drift, while mechanisms that improve spatial stability tend to suppress motion, causing natural flows such as water, fire, or smoke to stagnate.
