The paper introduces a promptable localized motion representation that generates persistent embeddings for user-specified regions in a video, without cropping or masking the input. By conditioning motion encoding directly on spatial masks while processing the full video, the method produces temporally consistent, region-addressable embeddings that capture local dynamics while preserving global context. These embeddings enable object-level motion transfer for dynamic scene composition and improve localized action classification in multi-actor videos, outperforming global representations that rely on cropping or post-hoc masking.

GameWAM is the first World-Action Model designed for native closed-loop gameplay and GUI control in modern video games. It jointly generates future visual observations and executable keyboard-mouse trajectories using parallel visual and action generative processes, block-causal conditioning, and flow matching. The model predicts gameplay/GUI mode at each step, handles heterogeneous native controls, and employs block-cycle control for long-horizon interaction, achieving competitive task success with fewer native actions than prior agents.

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.
