Abstract
Video world models have made rapid progress in generating controllable visual experiences, but most of them still simulate the world from a single observer. Extending such models to multiple agents raises a central challenge: if each agent's future state is generated independently, overlapping views may instantiate different versions of the same scene, leading to inconsistent objects, layouts, and appearances across agents. Conventional camera conditioning controls individual trajectories, but it does not explicitly couple the generation of views that should agree under shared scene geometry. We introduce Prisma-World, a camera-controllable multi-agent world model that formulates multi-agent generation as a joint geometry-aware denoising process for cross-view consistency. Prisma-World processes all agent videos within one full-attention sequence, uses a multi-agent RoPE design to distinguish agent identities while preserving synchronized temporal coordinates, and injects relative camera geometry into attention to bias overlapping viewpoints toward shared scene evidence. To further strengthen multi-view consistency and enhance global spatial perception, we augment our framework with an overlap-decaying curriculum training paradigm alongside minimap-conditioned structural guidance. To facilitate the training and evaluation of multi-agent models, we introduce PrismaDataset, a large-scale UE5 dataset with panoramic acquisition across diverse scenes, composable multi-agent view groups with flexible agent counts and complex camera trajectories, and precise camera/action annotations for consistency training and evaluation. Experiments show that a single Prisma-World model can generate high-fidelity multi-agent videos with flexible agent numbers, camera controllability, improved cross-view consistency, and spatial grounding under minimap guidance.
Video world models are a foundational generative technology for embodied AI and the Metaverse, yet existing approaches are inherently limited to a single agent observing from a single perspective. Extending these models to multi-agent settings introduces two critical challenges: data scarcity (coordinated multi-view recordings are prohibitively expensive to collect for general open-domain scenarios) and world state alignment (independently generated video streams cannot ensure that shared physical environments and events evolve consistently across views). To address these challenges, we propose MetaWorld, a novel framework that scales multi-agent video world models to open-domain environments directly from single-view videos. First, we introduce Monocular World-State Unrolling (MWSU) to explicitly decompose monocular footage into the camera operator's ego-motion and the visible subject's spatial trajectory. This camera-trajectory decomposition naturally extracts synchronized multi-agent motion data within a shared 3D space, completely bypassing the need for multi-camera setups. Second, for precise visual control, we develop the Subject-Aware World Generator to enable appearance-driven simulation conditioned on per-agent identity images. Finally, to ensure both views are grounded in the identical physical reality, we propose World-State Alignment, a per-frame inter-branch cross-attention mechanism inserted at every transformer layer of the video DiT. By jointly synchronizing the denoising process, WSA enforces both static geometric consistency and dynamic motion consistency, encouraging that the shared 3D environment and physical events remain well-aligned across both egocentric views. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MetaWorld achieves superior cross-view consistency and identity fidelity, establishing a highly scalable, physics-driven paradigm for multi-agent video world modeling.
Video world models have achieved remarkable success in simulating environmental dynamics in response to actions by users or agents. They are modeled as action-conditioned video generation models that take historical frames and current actions as input to predict future frames. Yet, most existing approaches are limited to single-agent scenarios and fail to capture the complex interactions inherent in real-world multi-agent systems. We present \textbf{MultiWorld}, a unified framework for multi-agent multi-view world modeling that enables accurate control of multiple agents while maintaining multi-view consistency. We introduce the Multi-Agent Condition Module to achieve precise multi-agent controllability, and the Global State Encoder to ensure coherent observations across different views. MultiWorld supports flexible scaling of agent and view counts, and synthesizes different views in parallel for high efficiency. Experiments on multi-player game environments and multi-robot manipulation tasks demonstrate that MultiWorld outperforms baselines in video fidelity, action-following ability, and multi-view consistency.

World models for interactive video generation have largely focused on single-agent settings, where future observations are generated from a single control signal. However, many generated environments require multi-agent interaction: multiple players, robots, or embodied agents act simultaneously within a shared space. Scaling world models to such settings requires a principled multi-agent design: agents should remain independently controllable, permutation-symmetric, and support efficient inference while maintaining consistency across time and perspectives. In this paper, we present our generative multi-agent world model for interactive simulation. It introduces Simplex Rotary Agent Encoding, a parameter-free extension of 3D RoPE that represents agents as vertices of a regular simplex in rotary angle space. This gives each agent a distinct phase while making all agents permutation-equivalent, enabling scalable agent identity without learned per-slot identities or a fixed agent ordering. To avoid dense all-to-all attention across agents, we further propose Sparse Hub Attention, where learnable hub tokens mediate token interaction across agents, reducing cross-agent attention cost from quadratic to linear in the number of agents. For real-time rollout, we distill a full-context diffusion teacher into a causal student that generates temporal blocks sequentially with KV caching, enabling action-responsive generation at 24 FPS. Experiments in multiplayer virtual environments show that our model improves video fidelity, action controllability, and inter-agent consistency over slot-based and dense-attention baselines, while generalizing from two to four players without additional training.
