Abstract:Evaluating embodied robot foundation models remains a critical bottleneck; unlike large language models efficiently assessed via digital benchmarks, robotic policies require slow, costly real-world rollouts limited by hardware and human supervision, which has driven interest in world models as surrogate policy evaluators, yet the key properties that make a world model reliable for policy assessment remain poorly understood. This work presents a systematic study of world models for robotic policy evaluation and introduces WMBench, a benchmark constructed from real-robot teleoperation data and matched policy rollouts covering diverse manipulation tasks to enable controlled comparisons across model families, action encodings, rollout horizons, and evaluation metrics. Using WMBench, we analyze 7 video world models, 4 action representation schemes, and over 324,000 simulated policy rollouts paired with real robot executions, further enriching our analysis with large-scale community submissions from the CVPR 2026 GigaBrain Challenge, curated synthetic trajectories, and a training videos spanning more than 12,000 hours. Our experiments deliver three core insights: evaluator quality is dominated by long-horizon, action-faithful rollout consistency rather than short-term visual realism; pretraining gains stem not only from data scale but from balancing general world knowledge with robot-specific controllability; and architectural choices including action encoding, memory design, and evaluator-focused post-training strongly determine alignment with real-world robot behavior. Drawing on these results, we derive a practical design roadmap and realize it in \textit{GigaWorld-1}, a world model specially optimized for policy evaluation, and we fully release our code, models, datasets, and toolkits to advance scalable evaluation research for embodied foundation models.
Abstract:Video customization based on Text-to-Video (T2V) models aims to learn specific features from reference data to generate controllable videos. While significant strides have been made in image stylization and video motion customization, simultaneously controlling multiple concepts, such as content, style, and motion, remains a major challenge. In this work, we systematically define the task of multi-concept video customization, which requires the joint control of content, style, and motion. To facilitate research in this area, we construct a comprehensive benchmark and propose Disco-LoRA, a unified framework designed to tackle this problem by disentangling and flexibly recombining different concepts in two stages: (1) We decompose the objective into two sub-tasks: Content-Style and Content-Motion. Each sub-task is addressed using our Iterative Dual-LoRA Disentanglement Framework, which effectively disentangles distinct concepts within the data. (2) We identify layer-wise weight trends as crucial for LoRA identity, while weight magnitudes dictate composability. To harmonize these scales, we propose a Z-score-based statistical regularization that aligns weight distributions, preserving layer-wise trends while minimizing interference between different LoRAs. Extensive experiments show that Disco-LoRA excels in multi-concept video customization, effectively preserving appearance, style, and motion for controllable text-to-video generation.
Abstract:Customized video generation aims to produce videos that faithfully preserve the subject's appearance from reference images while maintaining temporally consistent motion from reference videos. Existing methods struggle to ensure both subject appearance similarity and motion pattern consistency due to the lack of object-level guidance for subject and motion. To address this, we propose SMRABooth, which leverages the self-supervised encoder and optical flow encoder to provide object-level subject and motion representations. These representations are aligned with the model during the LoRA fine-tuning process. Our approach is structured in three core stages: (1) We exploit subject representations via a self-supervised encoder to guide subject alignment, enabling the model to capture overall structure of subject and enhance high-level semantic consistency. (2) We utilize motion representations from an optical flow encoder to capture structurally coherent and object-level motion trajectories independent of appearance. (3) We propose a subject-motion association decoupling strategy that applies sparse LoRAs injection across both locations and timing, effectively reducing interference between subject and motion LoRAs. Extensive experiments show that SMRABooth excels in subject and motion customization, maintaining consistent subject appearance and motion patterns, proving its effectiveness in controllable text-to-video generation.
