PhysEditWorld: A Large-Scale Dataset Toward Physics-Editable World Models

World models must learn the joint dynamics of states, actions, events, and observations, yet existing video, robotics, and simulation datasets usually capture only part of this structure. We introduce CG-World, a large-scale world-state dataset and protocol derived from industrial computer graphics production pipelines. CG-World explicitly records intermediate states, including multimodal semantics, spatial structure, skeletal and controller states, motion curves, camera and lighting parameters, physics caches, contact events, and multi-pass renderings. CG-World v1 contains approximately 850,000 temporally aligned segments of 1-5 seconds. It separates latent states, observations, relations, events, and branch metadata, and organizes them into unified spatiotemporal samples. To support intervention learning and counterfactual reasoning, CG-World defines a branch lineage covering factual trajectories, observation interventions, action interventions, mechanism interventions, and strict counterfactual branches, with intervention targets, invariants, and alternative outcomes explicitly recorded. We evaluate the dataset on geometry-conditioned video generation, action prediction, and closed-loop vision-language-action policy transfer. Results show that CG-World provides reusable structured supervision for controlled generation, action modeling, and embodied policy transfer. We plan to expand CG-World through continued data collection and community collaboration toward a shared data infrastructure for world models, Physical AI, and embodied intelligence.

We introduce WorldOlympiad, a benchmark for diagnosing video-based world models across physical faithfulness, geometric consistency, and interaction fidelity. While existing benchmarks often focus on visual quality, semantic alignment, or short-term temporal coherence, they provide limited insight into whether generated videos obey physical rules, preserve coherent 3D structure, and sustain controllable interactions over long horizons. To address this gap, WorldOlympiad decomposes world-model evaluation into three complementary dimensions. The physical track uses object segmentation and MLLM-as-judge to assess whether generated videos follow interpretable rules in mechanics, thermal phenomena, and material properties. The geometry track reconstructs generated videos with Gaussian splatting and evaluates structural consistency, cross-view coherence, and camera-trajectory alignment. The interaction track assesses whether generated rollouts follow complex action prompts and maintain smooth, coherent transitions across consecutive video chunks. WorldOlympiad further covers three major downstream scenarios, including gaming, robotics, and general real-world videos, capturing diverse challenges from interactive control and embodied manipulation to open-domain motion and camera dynamics. Together, these tracks and scenarios form a scalable and interpretable evaluation suite that exposes failure modes beyond generic video quality. Experiments on state-of-the-art models reveal substantial gaps in physical reasoning, 3D consistency, and long-horizon interaction, underscoring the need for more structured evaluation protocols for generative world models.

World simulators can provide safe and scalable environments for training Physical AI systems before real-world deployment. Large video generation models are emerging as a promising basis for such simulators because they can generate diverse and realistic visual futures. However, using them as world simulators requires physically faithful video continuations, namely, generated videos that preserve the physical state implied by the conditioning input, and evolve in ways consistent with basic physical principles. We propose PhyWorld, a video generation world model designed to produce temporally coherent and physically faithful scene continuations through two-stage post-training. In the first stage, we improve video-to-video continuation with flow matching fine-tuning, encouraging stable visual attributes and coherent motion dynamics across frames. In the second stage, we align generated dynamics with physical principles using Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) over physics preference pairs, guiding the model toward outputs with higher physical plausibility. To evaluate PhyWorld, we use both standard video-quality benchmarks and a dedicated physical-faithfulness benchmark with per-law scoring. Experiments show that PhyWorld improves video consistency, achieving an average score of 0.769 on VBench compared with 0.756 or below for state-of-the-art baselines. PhyWorld also improves physical plausibility, reaching an average score of 3.09 on our physical-faithfulness benchmark compared with 2.99 for the strongest baseline. These results suggest that post-training large video generation models with continuation and physics-preference signals can make them more effective world simulators for Physical AI.
