Multiplayer Interactive World Models with Representation Autoencoders

We introduce the first multiplayer world model for highly dynamic environments governed by complex physical interactions. Whereas single-player world models treat the other agents as part of the environment, ours conditions on the action streams of multiple agents, learning to attribute changes in the scene to the correct player and to stay coherent under arbitrary combinations of their actions. We study this problem in the game of Rocket League, where players compete and cooperate under fast, tightly coupled dynamics. Trained on 10,000 hours of gameplay collected with publicly available bots, our 5-billion-parameter latent diffusion model generates four-player matches in real time, producing 20 frames per second on a single Nvidia B200 GPU. Although trained only on short clips, its rollouts stay stable far beyond the training horizon: distributional quality holds steady out to five minutes, the longest horizon we measure, and in practice we observe rollouts continuing for hours with no sign of collapse. We systematically investigate the central design choices: the video codec, the generative objective, and the multiplayer conditioning scheme. In addition, we characterize how behavior changes with model and data scale, including the capabilities that emerge and the failure modes that persist. We further develop targeted evaluations that probe the model's physical understanding rather than visual appearance alone. To support continued research on multiplayer world models, we release our dataset, our full training and inference codebase, and a live demo.

One View Is Enough! Monocular Training for In-the-Wild Novel View Generation

Monocular novel-view synthesis has long required multi-view image pairs for supervision, limiting training data scale and diversity. We argue it is not necessary: one view is enough. We present OVIE, trained entirely on unpaired internet images. We leverage a monocular depth estimator as a geometric scaffold at training time: we lift a source image into 3D, apply a sampled camera transformation, and project to obtain a pseudo-target view. To handle disocclusions, we introduce a masked training formulation that restricts geometric, perceptual, and textural losses to valid regions, enabling training on 30 million uncurated images. At inference, OVIE is geometry-free, requiring no depth estimator or 3D representation. Trained exclusively on in-the-wild images, OVIE outperforms prior methods in a zero-shot setting, while being 600x faster than the second-best baseline.
