Training Object Permanence in World Models

Haotian Zhang, Fengyuan Yu, Dezhi Luo +28

Object permanence and solidity are hallmarks of human cognitive priors. Recent studies show that video generation models, a paradigmatic class of current world models, have begun t…

ViTok-v2: Scaling Native Resolution Auto-Encoders to 5 Billion Parameters

Philippe Hansen-Estruch, Jiahui Chen, Vivek Ramanujan +9

Vision Transformer (ViT) autoencoders have emerged as compelling tokenizers for images, offering improved reconstruction over convolutional tokenizers. However, existing ViT tokeni…

Think in Strokes, Not Pixels: Process-Driven Image Generation via Interleaved Reasoning

Lei Zhang, Junjiao Tian, Zhipeng Fan +9

Humans paint images incrementally: they plan a global layout, sketch a coarse draft, inspect, and refine details, and most importantly, each step is grounded in the evolving visual…

UniT: Unified Multimodal Chain-of-Thought Test-time Scaling

Leon Liangyu Chen, Haoyu Ma, Zhipeng Fan +11

Unified models can handle both multimodal understanding and generation within a single architecture, yet they typically operate in a single pass without iteratively refining their…

HairWeaver: Few-Shot Photorealistic Hair Motion Synthesis with Sim-to-Real Guided Video Diffusion

Di Chang, Ji Hou, Aljaz Bozic +8

We present HairWeaver, a diffusion-based pipeline that animates a single human image with realistic and expressive hair dynamics. While existing methods successfully control body p…

Non-Markov Multi-Round Conversational Image Generation with History-Conditioned MLLMs

Haochen Zhang, Animesh Sinha, Felix Juefei-Xu +8

Conversational image generation requires a model to follow user instructions across multiple rounds of interaction, grounded in interleaved text and images that accumulate as chat…
