Abstract

Recent advances in video generative models have promoted rapid progress in controllable world models. However, maintaining fine-grained spatio-temporal consistency under long-horizon reasoning remains a key challenge. In this work, we move beyond explicit 3D memory and coarse frame-level implicit modeling, and propose a fine-grained, learnable, and scalable memory for consistent world generation. We first identify two fundamental limitations of naïve learnable memory architectures in long-horizon extrapolation, namely computational inefficiency and attention dispersion. Through a systematic analysis of attention dispersion, we propose DecMem, a decoupled memory architecture that employs Sparse Global Memory for efficient fine-grained access to global history and Anchored Local Memory for stable and high-quality extrapolation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DecMem significantly outperforms current state-of-the-art methods. By ensuring precise and efficient long-term memory and achieving superior extrapolation capabilities, DecMem enables minute-level controllable long video generation with high fidelity and consistency.
