Distilling Dense Trajectory Teachers For Large-Motion Video World Models

Video diffusion models have learned rich 3D/4D priors, making them promising for scene generation and video re-rendering. However, their use in spatial tasks is limited by imprecise camera control, spatial and temporal inconsistencies, and entangled camera motion with scene dynamics. Existing approaches, such as task-specific fine-tuning and post-process warping, often introduce visual artifacts, generalize poorly, or incur high computational costs. We propose WorldForge V2 to achieve accurate camera control while preserving the generative capabilities of pretrained video models. We first develop a training-free guidance framework using warped references to iteratively refine generation along a target camera path. Optical-flow analysis identifies motion-related latent channels for selective guidance, helping separate motion control from appearance. A dual-path strategy further compares guided and unguided predictions to correct artifacts from imperfect references. Together, these components guide viewpoint changes while preserving scene appearance and object motion. To reduce refinement costs, v-cache approximates the correction using the preceding denoising prediction, avoiding an additional model evaluation. We further extend motion localization from latent channels to network blocks and introduce Trajectory LoRA, which concentrates adaptation on blocks most responsive to trajectory guidance. A two-stage training strategy teaches these adapters to denoise the states encountered during guided generation, using limited supervision effectively. This enables reliable camera control with very little training data, with a single training scene already supporting generalization to unseen scenes. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations across multiple datasets show that our method achieves state-of-the-art generation quality and trajectory accuracy in camera-controlled video generation.

Predicting future motion is crucial in video understanding and controllable video generation. Dense point trajectories are a compact, expressive motion representation, but modeling their future evolution from observed video remains challenging. We propose a framework that predicts future trajectories and visibility from past trajectories and video context. Our method has three components: (1) Grid-Anchor Offset Encoding, which reduces location-dependent bias by representing each point as an offset from its pixel-center anchor; (2) TrajLoom-VAE, which learns a compact spatiotemporal latent space for dense trajectories with masked reconstruction and a spatiotemporal consistency regularizer; and (3) TrajLoom-Flow, which generates future trajectories in latent space via flow matching, with boundary cues and on-policy K-step fine-tuning for stable sampling. We also introduce TrajLoomBench, a unified benchmark spanning real and synthetic videos with a standardized setup aligned with video-generation benchmarks. Compared with state-of-the-art methods, our approach extends the prediction horizon from 24 to 81 frames while improving motion realism and stability across datasets. The predicted trajectories directly support downstream video generation and editing. Code, model checkpoints, and datasets are available at https://trajloom.github.io/.

Recent advances in video world models have enabled plausible interactive environments, yet long-horizon generation places a fundamental demand on visual memory: the previously observed world must remain consistent as the model continues to generate. Existing autoregressive approaches often implicitly rely on the generative model itself to retain such information, leading to spatial memory decay beyond the active context. We introduce World-T3, a camera-controlled video world model with a test-time training memory that consolidates past observations into dedicated model parameters. To robustly update this memory, we propose a recursive least-squares rule that incrementally absorbs novel visual features via online pose-keyed memory updates. Our TTT memory reads out previously observed scene features from the fast-weight state by camera pose, enabling consistent generation with constant storage and per-step computation regardless of rollout length. To facilitate real-time interactive generation with this robust memory, we further distill the autoregressive model into a few-step generator via dual-teacher distribution matching. On a long-horizon revisit benchmark, World-T3 raises revisit PSNR from 13.52 to 18.31 dB and reduces absolute rotation error from 3.344 to 1.075 relative to the strongest baseline on both metrics, while sustaining 20.6 FPS at 1280 x 704 on a single NVIDIA B200 GPU.
