Geometric Distillation from Rectified Stereo: Leveraging Epipolar Cues for Monocular Depth
The paper introduces Epipolar Distillation (EpiDistill), a method that transfers scale‑aware geometric priors from multi‑view models to monocular depth foundation models using Rectified Stereo Tokens. By preserving epipolar attention patterns, the single‑view model maintains geometric consistency without needing multi‑view inputs during inference. Experiments show significant improvements in zero‑shot metric depth estimation on challenging datasets such as ETH3D and DIODE, and the approach consistently boosts performance of state‑of‑the‑art ViT‑based models like UniDepthV2 and DepthPro.

Puffin-World: Scaling a Unified Multimodal Model with Native 3D World States
Puffin-World is a unified multimodal architecture that integrates physical understanding, spatial simulation, and 3D world generation without external offline modules. It jointly models physics, geometry, and appearance as native world states and uses a unified Omni-Camera representation to support diverse tasks and flexible motions. The framework also propagates physical dynamics across future frames, couples appearance and geometry in a single generative process, and scales to complex scenarios with the Puffin-16M dataset of 15 million vision‑language‑camera triplets and 1 million trajectories.
