WorldPlay2: Extending Real-Time Interactive World Models in Control and Horizon

Interactive world models require responding in real time to versatile controls and maintaining long-horizon consistency. However, modeling heterogeneous controls remains difficult, while explosive contexts and unstable distillation impede achieving both long-horizon consistency and real-time responsiveness. In this paper, we present WorldPlay2, an interactive world model that couples a factorized hybrid control interface with a co-design of compressed memory and stable distillation. 1) Our factorized hybrid control interface integrates frame-aligned action control with structured semantic control that explicitly disentangles scene appearance, character identity, and dynamic semantic events, thereby facilitating effective control learning. 2) To achieve efficient long-horizon modeling, we compress historical contexts into compact memory tokens shared by the autoregressive student and the bidirectional teacher. This design enables clip-wise, memory-conditioned score evaluation instead of jointly processing an entire long rollout, substantially reducing distillation overhead. 3) We further propose Stable Forcing, which initializes the autoregressive student via a few-step strategy and leverages full-rollout replay to preserve the quality of long-horizon rollouts, ensuring robust and stable distillation. Extensive experiments demonstrate the strong generalizability of our model and its superior performance compared to existing methods.

Can LLMs Discover Scientific Laws in Real and Parallel Worlds?

Scientific equation discovery has long been central to scientific progress, proceeding through iterative cycles of hypothesis generation, observational testing, and refinement under scientific constraints. As LLM capabilities advance and their role in AI for Science expands, it remains an open problem whether they can genuinely discover scientific laws and how this ability should be evaluated. Existing evaluations, however, often either simplify discovery through synthetic settings or reuse published targets that may already be familiar to LLMs. We therefore introduce SCILAWS-BENCH, a benchmark for scientific law discovery built from published research and real scientific data. It comprises 118 problems drawn from 381 scientific papers, covering 291 candidate laws and roughly 8M real data points across six scientific disciplines. Each problem is instantiated in two complementary settings: (1) SCILAWS-REAL asks models to propose laws from fixed real observations and evaluates held-out predictive fit and scientific validity derived from the source literature, and (2) SCILAWS-PARALLEL asks models to actively query residual-calibrated worlds and recover synthesized hidden laws derived from published forms. This two-setting task design preserves each problem's scientific context while separately evaluating fixed-record law discovery and active recovery of a newly synthesized hidden law. We find that predictive fit can diverge from scientific validity, memorization shapes whether models reproduce or move beyond published formulas, and our best-of-N study reveals a selection bottleneck. Our work provides a paper-grounded benchmark and new empirical perspectives for evaluating AI for scientific discovery. Project page: https://yiyihum.github.io/SciLaws-Bench

AnyWorld: Factorized Egocentric World Models for Cross-Embodiment Generalization

Collecting contact-rich robot experiences at scale remains a major bottleneck for generalizable manipulation. Beyond data quantity, robot learning also requires diverse experiences across embodiments, viewpoints, and scenes. Human egocentric videos provide abundant physical interactions, but each video captures only a narrow slice of experience under a single body, camera trajectory, and environment. We propose AnyWorld, a cross-embodiment world modeling framework that expands a single human interaction into diverse robot-native rollouts without paired human-robot demonstrations. Our model factorizes an interaction into action, camera, and embodiment: action controls capture the motion structure, camera controls specify viewpoint evolution, and the target embodiment context defines the acting body and its interaction geometry. This formulation enables independent recomposition of embodiment, viewpoint, and scene factors, allowing a single model to generate many robot-domain experiences while preserving the underlying dynamics and object interactions. We train the model with large-scale human interaction pretraining followed by mixed-embodiment fine-tuning. Experiments show that our model supports controllable recomposition across embodiments, viewpoints, and scenes, and we further demonstrate that the generated data can improve manipulation performance on the RoboCasa GR1 tabletop benchmark and a real IRON humanoid robot. Beyond aggregate gains, we test whether unpaired human experience can be recomposed into robot-native video-action pairs that target a policy gap. Controlled IRON interventions correct a spurious completion prior and establish language-grounded spatial target selection; an action-only counterfactual intervention fails to learn the latter reliably, showing that both action calibration and visual recomposition are necessary.

OPINE-World: Programmatic World Modeling with Ontology-error-Prioritized Interactive Exploration for ARC-AGI-3

Learning how an environment behaves from interaction is central to building agents that adapt to unfamiliar tasks. World models learned with deep networks are flexible but data-hungry and transfer poorly beyond their training distribution. Program-synthesized world models, written as source code by LLMs and refined through counterexample-guided inductive synthesis (CEGIS), are instead data-efficient and reusable, yet they have been demonstrated mainly on structured-state worlds with a given object vocabulary, and a single program search does not scale to pixel-rendered environments whose object structure must be hypothesized flexibly. We introduce OPINE-World, an LLM agent that learns an object-centric programmatic world model online from interaction. OPINE-World couples two cooperating agents in a loop of hypothesis and test, one acting in the environment and one synthesizing the model in code with replay verification and model-based planning, and it steers exploration with a Bayesian measure of object-type adequacy we call ontology error. We evaluate OPINE-World on ARC-AGI-3, a benchmark for skill-acquisition efficiency in which the object vocabulary, the goal, and the action semantics are withheld. OPINE-World solves 20 of 25 games without per-game training and reaches an action-efficiency score of 78.4 against the human baseline.

ReWorld: Learning Better Representations for World Action Models

World Action Models (WAMs) model future environment evolution under action conditioning, offering a scalable paradigm for autonomous driving. However, existing approaches focus largely on model architecture design, and how a WAM can efficiently learn better world representations for planning remains underexplored. To address this gap, we propose ReWorld, the first representation learning framework specifically designed for autonomous-driving world action models. In WAMs, standard training supervises only the output ends of the generation and planning modules, leaving the intermediate representations that carry world knowledge to be shaped only indirectly, as byproducts of fitting these outputs. The core idea of ReWorld is to treat intermediate representations as direct targets of optimization, shaping them along three complementary dimensions. On the Video DiT responsible for generation, we impose future-predictive supervision on its intermediate representations. On the Action DiT responsible for planning, we first align its intermediate representations cross-modally with the video world representation, then further shape them to be discriminative around safety-critical boundaries via hard-negative supervision. In addition, we systematically analyze the effectiveness of existing representation learning methods in video generation world models, and discuss why their performance is limited on this task. Experiments on nuScenes and NAVSIM show that ReWorld improves fine-tuned video generation by 23.9% in FVD (81.3 to 61.9), raises closed-loop PDMS from 89.1 to 90.4 without any post-training such as RL or post-processing, and accelerates from-scratch convergence by approximately 2x.

Uncertainty Decomposition for Clarification Seeking in LLM Agents

Recent position papers argue that the classical aleatoric/epistemic uncertainty framework is insufficient for interactive large language model (LLM) agents and call for underspecification-aware, decomposed, and communicable uncertainty representations that can unlock new agent capabilities such as proactive clarification seeking and shared mental-model building. Practical deployment constraints -- black-box APIs, interactive latency budgets, and the absence of labeled trajectories -- rule out logprob-based, multi-sampling, and training-based methods, leaving prompt-based estimation as the most viable family for surfacing such signals at deployment time. We answer this call with a simple prompt-based decomposition that separates action confidence from request uncertainty (u), enabling the agent to ask for clarification when the task specification is ambiguous. To evaluate it, we introduce two clarification-augmented benchmarks (WebShop-Clarification and ALFWorld-Clarification) in which 50% of tasks are deliberately underspecified, and systematically compare the proposed decomposition against ReAct+UE and Uncertainty-Aware Memory (UAM) across five LLM backbones (GPT-5.1, DeepSeek-v3.2-exp, GLM-4.7, Qwen3.5-35B, GPT-OSS-120B) on these variants together with the standard WebShop, ALFWorld, and REAL benchmarks for fault detection. Averaged across the five backbones, the proposed decomposition improves clarification F1 on ALFWorld-Clarification by 73% over ReAct+UE and by 36% over UAM, and leads clarification F1 on every backbone on WebShop-Clarification and on four of five backbones on ALFWorld-Clarification, indicating that the gains generalize beyond a single LLM.

PAIWorld: A 3D-Consistent World Foundation Model for Robotic Manipulation

World foundation models (WFMs) are powerful simulators, yet they predominantly operate in a single-view setting and lack the multi-view 3D consistency required for robotic manipulation. While robotic systems rely on multiple cameras (egocentric, eye-to-hand, and wrist-mounted) for policy learning, current multi-view world models simply concatenate view tokens without explicit geometric reasoning. This causes cross-view object drift, depth inconsistency, and texture misalignment. We trace these failures to two deficiencies: the absence of an explicit inter-view communication mechanism and the lack of a 3D geometric prior. We argue that resolving both simultaneously is necessary and sufficient. To address this, we present PAIWorld, a framework that augments diffusion-transformer world models via three core components: (1) Geometry-Aware Cross-View Attention blocks that establish an explicit pathway across views, (2) Geometric Rotary Position Embedding that encodes camera ray directions and extrinsic poses into the attention mechanism, and (3) Latent 3D-REPA, which distills 3D-aware features from frozen 3D foundation models to ensure 3D consistency. Built upon a DiT-based world foundation model, PAIWorld achieves state-of-the-art multi-view 3D consistency on robotic manipulation benchmarks, ranking 1st on the WorldArena leaderboard and 2nd on the AgiBot-Challenge2026 leaderboard, while enabling downstream applications such as model-based planning, world action models, and multi-view policy post-training.

ThousandWorlds: A benchmark for climate emulation of potentially habitable exoplanets

The search for life beyond Earth will depend on detecting faint signatures in the atmospheres of potentially habitable exoplanets. Interpreting those signatures requires understanding the host planet's climate: the same molecule may signal life on one planet and abiotic chemistry on another. Global climate models (GCMs) provide this understanding, but individual runs can require up to millions of core-hours and substantial domain expert time. Machine-learning emulators could remove this bottleneck, but progress has been limited by the absence of a curated, multi-model exoclimate dataset. We introduce ThousandWorlds, an ML-ready benchmark for exoclimate emulation and for the broader regime of low-data, multi-simulator, parameter-to-field regression. The dataset contains approximately 1800 simulations from five GCMs, mapping eight planet parameters to 3D atmospheric fields including temperature, humidity, winds, clouds, and radiation. Three nested subsets define progressively harder challenges: single-simulator regression, multi-simulator regression with complete observations, and multi-simulator regression with structured missingness. We propose two evaluation protocols: one for ranking methods, and one that measures performance relative to the disagreement between GCMs themselves. We evaluate seven baselines spanning simple methods, deep learning, and Gaussian processes. GP-based methods perform best, suggesting that ThousandWorlds exposes a regime where off-the-shelf deep learning does not yet succeed. Data: https://doi.org/10.57967/hf/8695.

ActWorld: From Explorable to Interactive World Model via Action-Aware Memory

Interactive world models aim to simulate environment dynamics under real-time user actions. However, their action vocabulary is largely confined to navigation: most actions correspond to motion (e.g., walk, turn, look around), while interaction with objects in the scene (e.g., pick up plates, open doors, or trigger physical responses) is either absent, restricted to game domains, or relegated to prompt-to-full-video scenarios. The resulting worlds are visually explorable but not truly actionable. In this work, we present ActWorld, an interactive world model that extends prior navigation-centric generators to support mid-rollout object interaction within a chunk-autoregressive framework. We argue that the navigation-interaction gap stems from two bottlenecks. First, a data bottleneck: the lack of human-object interaction data with accurate, dense labels. Second, a memory bottleneck: recency-biased history compression in existing world models discards the event-transition frames that causally determine subsequent object states, leading to an action-forgetting pathology. On the data side, we construct a 100K interaction video dataset, each annotated with per-chunk captions via chain-of-thought reasoning. On the model side, we introduce a hierarchical action-aware memory design that routes history compression by interaction importance, complemented by a persistent memory bank that maintains event-update and object-identity tokens across long rollouts. Experiments show that ActWorld supports both flexible navigation and rich object interaction within a single model, substantially improving interaction fidelity over navigation-only baselines without sacrificing viewpoint control.

One Lens, Many Worlds : A Capability-Typed Interface for World-Model Interpretability

World models are now built on substantially different computational substrates. Latent recurrent state-space models such as PlaNet and the Dreamer family compress observations into recurrent states; token-based models such as IRIS quantize observations into a learned codebook and predict autoregressively with a transformer; and joint-embedding predictive architectures such as I-JEPA predict in a learned latent space with no pixel decoder. The interpretability methods applied to these models, including probing, activation patching, sparse autoencoders, and surprise analysis, share a common set of primitives, yet they are re-implemented from scratch for each architecture because existing hook-and-cache tooling assumes a transformer language model with no notion of actions, environment steps, or imagined rollouts. We argue that this fragmentation reflects the tooling rather than the models, and that the shared structure of world models is captured by a small typed interface. We present WorldModelLens, an open-source interpretability substrate organized around a capability-typed adapter: every model implements four required methods (encode, transition, initial state, sample) and declares a set of optional heads (decode, reward, continue, actor, critic) through an explicit capability descriptor, so that reinforcement-learning and self-supervised world models are first-class without either imitating the other. A single hook and cache layer exposes time-indexed activations, imagination rollouts, and intervention replay over this interface, allowing each analysis to be written once.

AnchorWorld: Embodied Egocentric World Simulation with View-based Evolution Customization

Despite being a pivotal frontier, interactive world modeling remains underexplored in terms of the versatile controllability required by practical scenarios. To bridge this gap, we present AnchorWorld, a framework that advances egocentric simulation through enhanced interaction integrity and a flexible mechanism for world customization. First, we utilize 3D human motion as the primary interaction modality. To complement the out-of-view or truncated body parts in egocentric views, we introduce an auxiliary training supervision that incorporates exogenous viewpoints decoupled from the agent's first-person sensorium. It allows the model to observe the agent's full-body positioning relative to the environment, facilitating a more robust spatial grounding of human-world interactions. Furthermore, we propose a simple yet effective mechanism for customizing self-evolving worlds. This is achieved by defining anchor views within a unified world coordinate system, coupled with textual descriptions dictating the dynamic evolution of local scenes. Experimental results show that AnchorWorld significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, while ablation studies validate the effectiveness of our key designs. Notably, our customization scheme exhibits promising spatio-temporal geometric consistency and adheres strictly to the prescribed evolutionary dynamics.

PiL-World: A Chunk-Wise World Model for VLA Policy-in-the-Loop Evaluation

Vision-language-action (VLA) policies operate in a closed loop in real-world robot tasks: a robot observes the scene, executes an action chunk, and conditions its next decision on the resulting observation. However, most existing world models for robot action evaluation are limited to open-loop prediction along pre-collected action trajectories. This prevents them from supporting closed-loop VLA evaluation, where each action chunk must be conditioned on the observation generated by the previous execution. To address this gap, we propose PiL-World, a chunk-wise world model designed for policy-in-the-loop VLA evaluation. Given the current observation and the action trajectory rolled out by a VLA policy, PiL-World generates multi-view future observations that are consistent with the VLA rollout and match the image inputs required by the policy. By alternating between VLA inference and world-model prediction, PiL-World enables closed-loop evaluation without real robot execution at every step. To improve rollout fidelity, PiL-World conditions video generation on action-derived visual control from head-view robot motion and latent histories that encode task execution context, while jointly predicting complementary multi-view observations. Beyond successful teleoperated demonstrations, it also learns from failed execution trajectories, helping the imagined rollouts better match the distribution of real policy executions. We evaluate PiL-World on three real dual-arm manipulation tasks. PiL-World generates imagined rollouts that are highly consistent with real robot executions. More importantly, compared with the baseline, it reduces the error between VLA success rates measured in real-world rollouts and those estimated through closed-loop world-model evaluation from 63.2% to 12.0%.

World Machine: Towards Generative World Modeling for Time-Series

World models represent a paradigm shift in generative AI, pursuing predictive understanding and controllable simulation of environments in a structured and generalizable way. We present World Machine, a generative world-modeling architecture for time series. It is a transformer-based architecture with latent states that enables adaptation to different amounts of observed data and contexts. This shows an improvement over traditional transformers, which have a computational and memory cost that scales quadratically with the context. Experiments on a proposed synthetic dataset, Toy1D, validate the approach's feasibility, demonstrate capabilities not found in conventional transformers, and highlight the contributions of each component of the training protocol.

DeTrack: A Benchmark and Altitude-Aware Dual World Model for Drone-embodied Tracking

Aerial object tracking has broad applications in public safety, emergency rescue, wildlife monitoring, and related fields. However, existing aerial tracking benchmarks are mainly based on passive 2D video sequences captured from fixed camera locations or predefined flight paths, where drones are treated as passive cameras rather than embodied agents that actively perceive, interact, and control their motion in dynamic 3D scenes. In this paper, we define a new drone-embodied tracking task, termed DeTrack, which requires a drone to track a target in interactive 3D environments using online egocentric observations and active flight control in a closed loop. We build a large-scale benchmark containing 11,368 target trajectories across diverse scenes, rendering conditions, semantic regions, and moving distractors, together with evaluation metrics for target visibility, tracking accuracy, and trajectory success. We further propose AaDWorlds, an altitude-aware dual world model framework for drone-embodied tracking. AaDWorlds consists of an altitude-aware perception module and dual world models that imagine future states under both high- and low-altitude regimes. By combining pseudo altitude-aware observations and imagined future states, AaDWorlds alleviates the intrinsic altitude-mediated contradiction between target visibility and flight safety. Experiments on the DeTrack benchmark demonstrate that AaDWorlds improves closed-loop tracking performance across all evaluation metrics.

HaM-World: Soft-Hamiltonian World Models with Selective Memory for Planning

World models enable model-based planning through learned latent dynamics, but imagined rollouts become unstable as the planning horizon grows or the dynamics distribution shifts. We argue that this instability reflects two missing structures in planner-facing latents: history-conditioned memory for approximate Markov completeness, and geometric organization that separates configuration, momentum, and task semantics. We propose HaM-World (HMW), a structured world model that decomposes the latent state into a canonical (q, p) subspace and a context subspace c, while using Mamba selective state-space memory as the history-conditioned input to the same latent dynamics. Within this interface, (q, p) evolves through an energy-derived Hamiltonian vector field plus learnable residual/control dynamics, while c captures semantic, dissipative, and non-conservative factors. This gives the planner a single latent state shared by dynamics prediction, reward/value estimation, imagined rollouts, and CEM action search. On four DeepMind Control Suite tasks, HaM-World reaches the highest Avg. AUC (117.9, +9.5%), reduces long-horizon rollout error to 45% of a strong baseline model, and wins 11/12 k in {3,5,7} MSE cells. Under 12 OOD perturbations spanning dynamics shifts, action delay, and observation masking, HaM-World achieves the highest return in every condition, with average OOD-return gains of 10.2% on Finger Spin and 13.6% on Reacher Easy. Mechanism diagnostics further show bounded action-free Hamiltonian-energy drift, structured energy variation under policy rollouts, and coherent control-induced energy transfer, supporting the intended Soft-Hamiltonian dynamics design.

Evolving Many Worlds: Towards Open-Ended Discovery in Petri Dish NCA via Population-Based Training

The generation of sustained, open-ended complexity from local interactions remains a fundamental challenge in artificial life. Differentiable multi-agent systems, such as Petri Dish Neural Cellular Automata (PD-NCA), exhibit rich self-organization driven purely by spatial competition; however, they are highly sensitive to hyperparameters and frequently collapse into uninteresting patterns and dynamics, such as frozen equilibria or structureless noise. In this paper, we introduce PBT-NCA, a meta-evolutionary algorithm that evolves a population of PD-NCAs subject to a composite objective that rewards both historical behavioral novelty and contemporary visual diversity. Driven by this continuous evolutionary pressure, PBT-NCA spontaneously generates a plethora of emergent lifelike phenomena over extended horizons-a hallmark of true open-endedness. Strikingly, the substrate autonomously discovers diverse morphological survival and self-organization strategies. We observe highly regular, coordinated periodic waves; spore-like scattering where homogeneous groups eject cell-like clusters to colonize distant territories; and fluid, shape-shifting macro-structures that migrate across the substrate, maintaining stable outer boundaries that enclose highly active interiors. By actively penalizing monocultures and dead states, PBT-NCA sustains a state of effective complexity that is neither globally ordered nor globally random, operating persistently at the "edge of chaos".
