Researchers have introduced Orbis 2, a novel hierarchical world model designed for driving tasks. This model differentiates itself by operating at two distinct levels: a high-level predictor that forecasts coarse scene structures over extended periods and a low-level generator that produces detailed predictions based on the high-level output. This hierarchical approach allows for both high perceptual fidelity and strong spatial and semantic representations. The model also employs a two-stage training paradigm, combining diffusion forcing for richer internal representations with teacher forcing for stable autoregressive rollouts, achieving state-of-the-art results on driving world model evaluations.
