🔥 Terrain Diffusion: A Diffusion-Based Successor to Perlin Noise in Infinite, Real-Time Terrain Generation

💡 The paper introduces Terrain Diffusion, a new method for generating realistic and infinite procedural worlds in real-time. The current method, Perlin noise, is fast and infinite but lacks realism and large-scale coherence. Terrain Diffusion uses diffusion models and a novel algorithm called InfiniteDiffusion to address these limitations. The InfiniteDiffusion algorithm enables seamless and real-time synthesis of boundless landscapes by coupling planetary context with local detail through a hierarchical stack of diffusion models. The method also uses a compact Laplacian encoding to stabilize outputs across large dynamic ranges and an open-source infinite-tensor framework to support constant-memory manipulation of unbounded tensors. Additionally, few-step consistency distillation enables efficient generation. The results show that Terrain Diffusion can synthesize entire planets coherently, controllably, and without limits, making it a practical foundation for procedural world generation. The method provides constant-time random access, seamless infinite extent, and seed-consistency, making it a suitable successor to Perlin noise. Overall, the paper presents a significant contribution to the field of procedural world generation, enabling the creation of realistic and infinite worlds in real-time.

🔥 Hallucination in World Models is Predictable and Preventable

💡 The paper addresses the issue of hallucination in world models, which occurs when the model generates unrealistic futures despite appearing visually fluent. The authors hypothesize that hallucination happens in low-data regions of the state-action space and can be detected and mitigated using data-centric signals and coverage-aware sampling techniques.

To test this hypothesis, the authors created a large dataset called MMBench2, consisting of 427 hours of data and 210 tasks for visual world modeling, with ground-truth actions and rewards. They trained a 350M-parameter world model on this dataset and identified three distinct modes of hallucination: perceptual, action-marginalized, and scene-diverging.

The authors developed three signals that can accurately predict where the model will fail and used these signals to develop a coverage-aware sampling technique to close coverage gaps during training. They also used the hallucination predictors as curiosity rewards for targeted data collection to adapt the pretrained world model to new environments with as few as 50 real environment trajectories.

The results show that hallucination in world models is indeed a data coverage issue and that the same signals used to detect it can also be used for mitigation. The authors provide a data-efficient finetuning recipe that can adapt the pretrained world model to entirely unseen environments, demonstrating the effectiveness of their approach. Overall, the paper contributes to a better understanding of hallucination in world models and provides a practical solution to prevent and mitigate it.

🔥 Geometric Context Transformer for Streaming 3D Reconstruction

💡 The paper presents a new approach to streaming 3D reconstruction, which involves recovering 3D information such as camera poses and point clouds from a video stream. This task requires geometric accuracy, temporal consistency, and computational efficiency. To address this problem, the authors introduce LingBot-Map, a feed-forward 3D foundation model that uses a geometric context transformer architecture. The key component of this architecture is a specialized attention mechanism that integrates three main elements: an anchor context, a pose-reference window, and a trajectory memory. These elements work together to address coordinate grounding, dense geometric cues, and long-range drift correction, allowing the model to maintain a compact streaming state while retaining rich geometric context. The result is a model that can perform stable and efficient inference at around 20 frames per second on high-resolution inputs, even over long sequences exceeding 10,000 frames. The authors evaluate their approach on various benchmarks and demonstrate that it outperforms both existing streaming and iterative optimization-based methods, achieving superior performance in terms of geometric accuracy and temporal consistency. Overall, the paper contributes a novel and effective approach to streaming 3D reconstruction, with potential applications in areas such as robotics, computer vision, and virtual reality.

🔥 Scaling the Horizon, Not the Parameters: Reaching Trillion-Parameter Performance with a 35B Agent

💡 The paper introduces Agents-A1, a 35 billion parameter Mixture-of-Experts Agentic Model that achieves performance comparable to trillion-parameter models by scaling the agent horizon instead of the parameters. The problem addressed is how to improve the performance of large language models on long-horizon tasks without increasing the number of parameters. The method used is a three-stage training approach, which includes supervised fine-tuning, domain-level teacher models, and multi-teacher distillation. The model is trained on a long-horizon knowledge-action infrastructure that connects external knowledge, actions, observations, and verifier outcomes, producing agentic trajectories with an average length of 45,000 tokens. The results show that Agents-A1 achieves strong and broad performance on long-horizon agent benchmarks, outperforming or matching the results of 1 trillion parameter models on several tasks, including SEAL-0, IFBench, HiPhO, FrontierScience-Olympiad, and MolBench-Bind. The paper provides a practical path for scaling the horizon using a smaller model that can reach or match the performance of larger models on long-horizon tasks.

🔥 LiveEdit: Towards Real-Time Diffusion-Based Streaming Video Editing

💡 The paper introduces a novel streaming video editing framework called LiveEdit that enables real-time editing of videos with stable backgrounds and non-edited regions over time. The main challenge in streaming video editing is maintaining stable backgrounds and non-edited regions while achieving low latency for real-time interactive scenarios. Existing streaming video generation methods are not suitable for editing due to the strict preservation requirement and region-specific control.

To address this issue, the authors propose a three-stage distillation pipeline that transfers editing capability from a powerful bidirectional foundation model to an efficient unidirectional streaming editor. This pipeline enables stable long-horizon edits without sacrificing visual fidelity. Additionally, the authors introduce an AR-oriented mask cache that reuses region-related computation across frames, reducing redundant processing and accelerating inference.

The results show that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art visual quality among streaming baselines and drastically boosts inference speed to 12.66 frames per second. This makes it suitable for interactive and augmented reality applications. The authors also establish a dedicated benchmark for streaming video editing to evaluate their method. Overall, the paper presents a significant contribution to the field of streaming video editing by providing a real-time and stable editing framework.

🔥 Qwen-RobotManip Technical Report: Alignment Unlocks Scale for Robotic Manipulation Foundation Models

💡 The paper presents Qwen-RobotManip, a generalizable Vision-Language-Action foundation model for robotic manipulation that achieves strong generalization through unified alignment across representation, motion, and behavior dimensions. The problem addressed is that robotic manipulation data is heterogeneous, expensive to collect, and narrow in diversity, making it challenging to achieve alignment and scale in training. The authors propose a unified alignment framework that enables large-scale multi-source training, allowing the model to absorb manipulation data at a scale that prior training regimes could not sustain.

The method involves a human-to-robot synthesis pipeline that converts egocentric hand demonstrations into robot trajectories across 15 platforms, and a rigorous curation pipeline that harmonizes heterogeneous datasets. The model is trained on a large pretraining corpus of approximately 38,100 hours, constructed using only open-source datasets and human videos without proprietary data collection.

The results show that Qwen-RobotManip exhibits emergent generalization capabilities, including zero-shot instruction following, robustness to perturbations, reactive error recovery, and cross-embodiment transfer. The model substantially outperforms prior state-of-the-art models, including π0.5, across all out-of-distribution settings, and ranks 1st in RoboChallenge with a 20% relative improvement. The model is also validated on real-robot platforms, including AgileX ALOHA, Franka, UR, and ARX. The paper concludes that Qwen-RobotManip achieves genuine generalization in robotic manipulation, demonstrating the effectiveness of the unified alignment framework and large-scale training approach.
