To reliably construct and interact with 3D worlds, our framework jointly models three native world states: physics (gravity field and latitude), geometry (depth), and appearance (image), together with a unified Omni-Camera representation that supports diverse tasks and flexible motions. Beyond modeling these states, we introduce a strategy for propagating physical dynamics across future frames. By grounding absolute camera properties in the real world, Puffin-World enables physically consistent and visually stable world generation. We further couple appearance and geometry within a single generative process, jointly synthesizing each future view and reconstructing its underlying geometry. This unified paradigm enables interleaved closed-loop applications requiring synergy across multiple tasks, including mimic and self-calibrated world exploration. To scale Puffin-World to complex scenarios, we construct Puffin-16M, comprising 15 million vision-language-camera triplets and 1 million trajectories featuring various and challenging motions. To foster further research in this area, we released the code, models, and datasets.","meta_description":"🤗 Upvotes: 29 | cs.CV Authors: Kang Liao, Yihang Luo, Xiao-Ming Wu, Linyi Jin, Size Wu, Chunyu Lin, Yao Zhao, Fei Wang, Wei Li, Chen Change Loy Title: Puf…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1323,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/daily-paper-cast-7079649/episodes/puffin-world-scaling-a-unified-multimodal-model-with-native-3d-world-states/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/daily-paper-cast-7079649/puffin-world-scaling-a-unified-multimodal-model-with-native-3d-world-states.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
