Do Video Foundation Models Understand Intuitive Physics? A Layerwise Probing Analysis

arXiv:2606. 09646v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study whether pretrained video foundation models encode intuitive-physics information in their frozen representations, and how this information varies across model families, layers, and probe types.

V-RAE: Rethinking Video Latent Spaces for Generation

Latent video generation relies on autoencoders to define a compact space in which generative models operate. Although video autoencoder architectures have evolved substantially, their latent spaces are still optimized primarily for pixel-level reconstruction and provide limited high-level semantic organization.

LayerRecall: A State-Conditioned Memory Router for Long-Horizon Consistency in Video Generation

LayerRecall is a memory router for autoregressive video diffusion that selectively retrieves and injects historical key/value states into specific layers of the model, based on the current context. It addresses the problem that existing memory mechanisms expose nonlocal history but do not guarantee effective use, by recognizing that different layers prefer current, recent, or distant context. The method, combined with Cross‑Horizon Prediction Matching, achieves state‑of‑the‑art long‑range consistency on MemoBench and MovieBench while maintaining local continuity and incurring negligible inference overhead.
