Do Video Generators Track the World Across Segments? A Benchmark and Method for World-State Reasoning in Video Continuation

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces Statebench, a benchmark for evaluating how well video generators track world states across segments, focusing on past-visible, occluded-process, and complex-transition states. It also proposes Stateagent, a method that maintains an explicit entity-state representation, updates it with new prompts, and uses the resulting state to guide video continuation. Experiments show Stateagent raises the overall state score from 45.2 to 69.3 and improves one‑minute story generation.

StateCraft: Augmenting Video World Models with Abstract-State Reasoning

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.
