Physics-Informed Video Generation via Mixture-of-Experts Latent Alignment

Large-scale video generation models have made remarkable progress in semantic consistency and visual quality, producing videos that are increasingly coherent and visually convincing. Nevertheless, the dynamics induced by pixel-level fitting do not naturally accommodate the regularities that govern real-world motion and interaction, resulting in persistent shortcomings in physical plausibility. To address this limitation, we propose \textbf{PILA} (Physics-Informed Latent Alignment), a framework that injects physics-structured latent guidance into the frozen flow-matching dynamics of pretrained video models. Specifically, PILA first employs anchored field estimation to map frozen-generator latents into an operational physical attribute bank organized by field-proxy slots, using observable motion as a kinematic anchor for constructing less directly observed proxies. To handle the heterogeneity of real-world dynamics, PILA adopts a mixture-of-experts design over physical categories. Label-prior masked expert routing selects category-specific operator experts, whose refinements are regularized by operational residuals abstracted from physical relations. Finally, the refined proxies are fused into the physical attribute bank and decoded into a correction to the flow-matching vector field, injecting physics-aware guidance while preserving the visual prior of the pretrained backbone. With staged adapter training on Wan 2.1-1.3B and direct transfer of the learned adapter to Wan 2.2-14B, PILA achieves state-of-the-art results on VBench-2.0, VideoPhy-2, and PhyGenBench in both visual quality and benchmark-measured physical plausibility.

Embody4D: A Generalist 4D World Model for Embodied AI

World models have made significant progress in modeling dynamic environments; however, most embodied world models are still restricted to 2D representations, lacking the comprehensive multi-view information essential for embodied spatial reasoning. Bridging this gap is non-trivial, primarily due to challenges from severe scarcity of paired multi-view data, the difficulty of maintaining spatiotemporal consistency in generated 3D geometries, and the tendency to hallucinate manipulation details. To address these challenges, we propose Embody4D, a dedicated video-to-video world model for embodied scenarios, capable of synthesizing arbitrary novel views from a monocular video. First, to tackle data scarcity, we introduce a 3D-aware compositional synthesis pipeline to curate a heterogeneous dataset compositing cross-embodiment robotic arms with diverse backgrounds, guaranteeing broad generalization. Second, to enforce geometric stability, we devise an adaptive noise injection strategy; by leveraging confidence disparities across image regions, this method selectively regularizes the diffusion process to ensure strict spatiotemporal consistency. Finally, to guarantee manipulation fidelity, we incorporate an interaction-aware attention mechanism that explicitly attends to the robotic interaction regions. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Embody4D achieves state-of-the-art performance, serving as a robust world model that synthesizes high-fidelity, view-consistent videos to empower downstream robotic planning and learning.
